Substituting the given values into the expression, we get: $\frac{-(-(2+3)^2-7*3)}{-2-(-4)} = \frac{-((-5)^2-21)}{-2+4} = \frac{-(-25-21)}{2} = \frac{-(-46)}{2} = \frac{46}{2} = 23$. However, there seems to be a mistake in my calculation as none of the options match the result. Let's correct the calculation: $\frac{-(-2+3)^2-7*3}{-2-(-4)} = \frac{-(1)^2-21}{2} = \frac{-1-21}{2} = \frac{-22}{2} = -11$. So, the correct answer is indeed D, -11, after correcting the calculation error.
