 Your choice:
A: ♠2 - There is no reason to underlead a King. East could have a tenace, after all. An Ace-doubleton is a really risky holding to lead from, especially when you partner has nothing.

A passive trump lead is best. Don't give anything away.

 Your choice:
A: ♠K - There's no point in leading your singleton when you have two natural trump tricks. You don't want to take ruffs, since you would be ruffing "with your own money".

Lead a Spade to try and set up tricks there.
