I find this hand extremely difficult! I would not know what to say 😆  Because of my style I would say 4heart because my partner must have 6/4.

4heart. I have shown the minors, so my partner will not expect a three cards support. He will choose. True, it would be better to have a doubleton honor, but we live in an imperfect world.

5diamond suit. My partner made a free bid, I think he has interesting cards, but slam seems too risky.

4NT. Slam attempt with no spade control.
