The Manuscripts listed in option B are, indeed, older than the Manuscripts mentioned in option A.
The texts in question that have been omitted (very few and none affecting any major doctrine) in option B are simply not found in the older manuscripts. What's your defense to the charge that those verses in question were added by the scribes in Option A? Therefore the scribes in option B are simply reflecting what the older manuscripts recorded more accurately?
Let me ask this question in a more straightforward way:
How do you know that the verses you cite weren't added to the translation you prefer?
Fundamentally, there are only two streams of Bibles. The first stream, which carried the Received Text (Textus Receptus) in Hebrew and Greek, precious manuscripts were preserved by such as the church in Pella in Palestine where Christians fled, when in 70 A.D. the Romans destroyed Jerusalem, by the Syrian Church of Antioch which produced eminent scholarship; by the Italic Church in northern Italy; And also, at the same time, by the Gallic Church in southern France and by the Celtic Church in Great Britain; by the pre-Waldensian, the Waldensian and the churches of the Reformation.
These manuscripts are all in agreement and are the vast majority of copies in existence, by far.
So vast is this majority that even the enemies of the Received Text admit that 95% of all Greek manuscripts are of this class.
I don't trust the Vatican whatsoever, especially since they kept those manuscripts in hiding until after the Protestant Reformation began. Pretty simple.

It's your choice as to which Bible you choose, but it's simply a fact there are really only 2 Bibles in existence.
P.S. If the verses were added to the Received Text, are you now arguing the complete opposite, that these changes absolutely have an effect on doctrine?
Before I continue going down this line of thinking with you, allow me to ask you a question:
Are you a King James Version Onlyist?
A simple yes or no will suffice.
No, I'm Masoretic OT/Textus Receptus only.
Geneva and Young's Living Translation are good translations as well.
