 Your choice:
A: ♥Q - Your Spades are not good enough to lead ahead of your partner's suit, Hearts.

With a doubleton, you need to lead the highest one, to unblock the suit and tell your partner how many cards you have. Lead the Queen.

 Your choice:
A: ♦10 - Why did West bid Stayman? Because he has four Spades. Therefore, a Diamond lead is best.

Q-10-9 form a broken sequence, so you need to lead the top of the touching cards, the 10.

 Your choice:
A: ♥Q - You have a great suit of your own and an entry to cash the Hearts if you set them up. Your partner won't be mad if you lead your suit!

 Your choice:
A: ♠7 - Underleading Ace-fourth is a really bad idea. It's best to lead a Spade.

With four small Spades, you need to lead the second-highest, not the fourth, to show your partner you have nothing in the suit.
