What system are you playing ? Also your auction is simply 3 passes to east, so what auction are we talking about.
Most people I know play 11-14 for a 4th seat NT even if they play strong in 1-3 so I'd open 1N.
If you're asking about 1♣-X- if you open a lot of 11s I'd redouble which would then be 9-10 by a passed hand.

Like CY, I would open the East hand 1NT. After a 1♣ opening, with or without a double, I would respond 1♥ playing a majors-first-if<GF system like Acol, 2/1, etc but 1♦ playing an up-the-line system like Forum D or SEF. The problem with a redouble is that our short suit is spades and that can leave us poorly placed if the auction turns into a part score battle while we are unlikely to be able to extract anything if partner is big and balanced.

Are we discussing the auction on the left? If so, I rank:
1. 1♥ = NAT. It seems better to investigate a ♥ fit without leaking other information or coping with possible ♠ pre-emption by opponents.
2. 1♦ = NAT.

The thread title suggests double rather than pass by S

If South doubled then West's hand loos like a redouble.
In absence of a double it depends on partnership agreement
