 Your choice:
A: 6♠. South bid 6♠, hoping for the best in the club suit. This was the full deal:

                    ♠ Q 10 5 4
                    ♥ K J 8
                    ♦ 10 8 7 6
                    ♣ 9 5

♠ J                              ♠ 9 7 2
♥ 10 7 6 5 2                   ♥ Q 9 3
♦ K 9 5                         ♦ A Q J 4 3
♣ J 7 6 4                         ♣ Q 8

                    ♠ A K 8 6 3
                    ♥ A 4
                    ♦ 2
                    ♣ A K 10 3 2

The ♥7 lead was covered by the jack, queen and ace. The ♠A then dropped the ♠J from West. If declarer had believed this card, he could have ruffed two clubs with the ♠Q and ♠10, finessing the ♠8 to return to his hand. No, he drew two more rounds of trumps and went down.
