 Your choice:
A: ♠2 - This hand looks familiar, doesn't it? The hand is the same, but the auction is not. The strength will be in dummy, with declarer having opened a preemptive bid, so it's much safer to lead actively.

 Your choice:
A: ♠K - What's the primary purpose of leading a singleton? To receive a ruff. That won't happen here, as partner has no points to get on lead with.
