 Your choice:
A: A - You need to win with the Ace. Look at the situation. You know your partner has a singleton Club, since West has at least two Clubs for the 1 NT opening, and your partner has led the smallest outstanding Club. He therefore can't have a doubleton.

When you make the first trick, you will play a second round of Clubs to give your partner a ruff.
