@Milo-Hammer,

The difference is subtle, but (A) says that most proverbs have their origin in the common proverb tradition of Europe, whereas the passage says "many belong..to the common proverb tradition of Europe." (lines 10-12). Many does not necessarily equal most.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
