 Your choice:
A: 5 - You will have to lead one of your long suits. Leading from ace-fourth is not usually a good idea, but you don't have a better lead.

Choose the major suit because East-West will often have longer minors. They did not try to find a major-suit fit, after all.

 Your choice:
A: J - Leading your singleton would be pointless; your partner wouldn't get on lead to give you a ruff.

Lead your Diamond suit, hoping for a forcing defense. If you can make declarer ruff with the long trump holding, you might have more trumps than he does at the end.
