Responder actually held this hand:
Qxxxx
KQxx
x
Txx
In the context of this auction, is 4C
A - the worst bid in bridge history
B - insanely aggressive
C - aggressive
D - reasonable, but I wouldn't bid it
E - what I would have bid on the hand

And I forgot to add, how many prefer 4H to 3H as responder's second
bid?

4H is the right Standard American bid, but not 2/1, I think.
3H is clarified from a minimal forced raise, when responder
bids 4C showing a feature/value. From responder's pov the
trump suit is established and a sign off is in that suit,
hearts. You appear to have read 4C as desperately seeking a
safe haven. In 2/1, 2H->4H and 3S->4H are sign offs I think.
Why would he invite a pass from you to play 4C rather than 4H?
This is fun for me. I have been studying Hardy and Lawrence
for the last several months and they differ, but I think
they both use the principle of fast arrival. Probably I can
find an example in the ML book, maybe not over a reverse though.
