Scoring: IMP


P-(1H)-X-(2NT)
P-(4H)-P-P

I'm afraid you will have to go with the double. 2NT showed a good raise(8+) to 3H.

What would you lead and why?

♣2.

OK, this is basically a guess, but:
Spades: Partner had a chance to bid 3♠ and didn't.
Hearts: You could argue that the double has given away the Heart position and so a singleton trump lead won't hurt, but I would still rather lead something else.
Diamonds: If you lead a diamond and it is wrong, you probably lose your K forever.
Clubs: If you lead a club and declarer wins the Q, with only 3 cards in the suit you might still win the K later.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Club. The shorter the king, the less likely it is to blow a trick. This is textbook.
