2♣, but the continuation and evaluation depend on system.
If I play Rosenkranz's rebids (my preference), I rebid 3♥ to show five diamonds and four hearts.
Otherwise, I rebid my hand as a 24 NT if that overbid doesn't send me immediately to 3N, but as a 23 NT if only that underbid allows me to utter 2N at some time, either directly or after a Kokish 2♥.
(Not that I am particularly eager to play 3N opposite a pair of jacks, but my hand is good for slam.)

i agree with junyi. 2C then 2N is best for gamebidding, 1D is best for slam bidding. Game bidding is where the heart of the game is, everything else is secondary (imo).

It is a very specific hand that cannot respond to 1♦ that makes game here. The hand looks like the ♦K and out.
