2.e4! FTW
1.d4 d5 (2.c4) (2.Nf3) (2.Bf4) or (2.e3)― pick the best move.
Sort:
c4 is the move that demands black answers a specific problem immediately i.e. exchange or support the d-pawn. That would be my preferred move because it is the most active.

Open game (1.e4 e5)
Semi-Open Game (1.e4 moves other than 1...e5)
Semi-Closed Game (1.d4 moves other than 1...d5)
1.d4 d5 (2.c4) (2.Nf3) (2.Bf4) or (2.e3)― pick the best move. Explain your reasoning.
