Selective iteration in arbitrary number of lists

Let's say I have an arbitrary number of lists (so list of lists). All lists are of same size, An example of this might be

say, k lists of length 4 (k=2)
[
[A, B, C, D] # length 4
[A, F, G, D] # length 4
]

Now given a query_list

[A, B, C, E]

This should return [A, B, C, D] which is the longest chain as in [A,F,G,D], the second character "F" and "B" in query_list mismatches..

x=[ ["a","b","c"],["a","b","z"],["a","z","c"] ]
z=["a","b","c"]

arr = []
for i in x:
    cnt = sum(z == y for z, y in zip(i, z))
    arr.append(cnt)  
    
index = arr.index(max(arr))

print(x[index],"matched the most")
