19x19 diagram

Board position taken at random from one of my old games. White to move. Match the letters a through f with these descriptions of move function:

1) Enlarge already secure White territory, deny Black some potential to make eyes.

2) Run away from danger with a weak White group.

3) Enclose some probable territory while denying a base to weak Black stones.

4) Create a base for potentially heavy White stones, create a moyo

5) Cut, attempting to capture a Black stone.

6) Vague, lax move of little use at the moment.

BONUS: Can you figure out which of these is the most urgent?
