I understand the reasoning that D is the most correct. But shouldn't there be a comma after 'lazy' bees because "accounting for ...." is an -ing modifier? Is this a mistake or does the rule not apply here? Or is it a case of which answer is BEST?

A - Incorrect.
Note that coordinating conjunctions such as and/but require parallelism.
"The ‘lazy’ bees ... usually contribute little to the activities of the hive, butworking as hard as the remaining"
