?


 Your choice:
A: 3NT- We didn't found fit in spades, but it's still possible for partner to have 4 cards on that suit.
With game values, we should bid it, giving partner the flexibility to change to 4 spades if he has a four card suit.
He knows we have four cards in spades because we used the Stayman convention and didn't like his hearts.
