 Your choice:
A: ♠2 - You have two identical suits, Diamonds and Spades. Therefore, you need to look at the bidding.

Neither of your opponents have tried to find a major-suit fit, so they will often have longer minors. Lead a major, your fourth-best Spade.

 Your choice:

 Your choice:
A: ♥2 - you are going to lead one of your four-card majors. Look at the honors.

Underleading Ace-fourth is not a good idea and is very risky. It's better to underlead the ♥J.
