Here the cue bid is used to show 5-5 in the minors without bypassing 3NT which might be the only winning game without many points in Partner’s hand.
20/20 ✅
4NT well describes a minor two-suiter but more unbalanced than in this hand, 6-6 or 6-5. With this hand, the right game will often be 3NT.
15/20
You do have the heart shortage. However, a take-out double will not well reflect your hand. Over 4♥ by Player #3, your partner could bid 4♠ with only four cards since your double most often shows 4. It is important for you to play towards the minors!
10/20
This overcall only shows a non-forcing diamond one-suiter. And you must show both a very maximum hand and a two-suiter.
5/20
If you want to bid a suit and then the other with 5-5, always start with the higher-ranking suit. Diamonds here!
0/20

I have problems with when to double
Interesting distribution, good analysis. Although 15/20 for risky 4NT may seem overvalued to some in relation to the take out double (I am not advanced in bridge level though), regards.
I understood a cue bid of 3H in this situation indicated 5S and five of a minor. I thought the unusual 2NT indicated 5/5 of the minors.
2NT would be 16-18 balanced.
