The only game that makes is 5 by South.
Against notrump, East/West can take the top five diamonds.
Against spades, East/West take two diamonds and get two spades.
Against hearts, the defense takes two diamonds then leads a club. South cannot draw trumps and run clubs.
But against clubs, the defense gets only the two diamonds.
