none of the above

The group of words that should be added to make the group of words compound-complex is:
; but Nate, who arrives later, may fish in the afternoon.
To make the group of words compound-complex, we need to add a combination of independent and dependent clauses.
Among the given options, the phrase "but, you may not fish Saturday afternoon or evening" is an independent clause. However, it does not contain any dependent clause to make it compound-complex.
The phrase ", but Nate, who arrives later, may fish in the afternoon" is a dependent clause ("but Nate, who arrives later") followed by an independent clause ("may fish in the afternoon"). This combination of clauses makes it a compound-complex sentence.
Therefore, the correct answer is ", but Nate, who arrives later, may fish in the afternoon."
