Default One circuit went out

Options come to mind:

* Bad circuit breaker, not delivering power.
* Dirty contact between breaker, and the bar that supplies
power.
* Bad connection at one of the outlets, so the power goes as
far as a particular outlet, but no farther
* Broken wire, along the way
* Bad connection at the neutral bar

OK, that's a hefty laundry list.

Just to push this a little; which is the most
likely candidate to go bad out of the blue
after decades of problem-free operation in
a mild environment?
