The correct answer is: **D. A brood chamber is made by bees, but comb foundations are built by humans.**

A brood chamber is the part of the hive where the queen lays eggs and where bee larvae are reared. Combs in this chamber are constructed by the bees from beeswax. On the other hand, comb foundations are artificial substrates made by humans that provide a base for bees to build their honeycomb, aiding in the organization of the hive and the process of honey production.
