"A proverb requires confirmation by those who read it." (Option C)

Explanation: Proverbs are short sayings that express general truths or practical wisdom based on experience; they comment on how things are, often distill experience, and can be descriptive or advisory. They are not statements that must be personally confirmed by each reader.
