Why the answer is B, and why the others tempt you.
**The reasoning**
After a preposition (like "for", "to", "with", "between"), you must use the **object pronoun**, not the subject pronoun.
Think of it this way: Would you say "This gift is for *I*"? No! You'd say "This gift is for *me*." The same rule applies when there's another person mentioned.
The preposition "for" governs both "you" and the pronoun that follows. Since "you" stays the same in both subject and object forms, we focus on the second pronoun. It needs to be **"me"** (object form), not "I" (subject form).
✓ "This gift is for **you and me**."
**Why the wrong options tempt you**
**A) I** — This is the trap! Many people think adding another person means you should use "I" to sound "proper." But "I" is only for subjects (who does the action), like "*I* gave the gift."
**C) my / D) mine** — These show possession (ownership), not who receives something. "My gift" means it belongs to you, but here we're talking about who the gift is *for*.
**Quick takeaway**
Remove the other person and test it alone: if you wouldn't say "for I," don't say "for you and I" — always use **"me"** after prepositions.
