I.

Detailed explanation-1: -Technically, the correct phrase is between you and me. The phrase contains a preposition: the word between. That means it requires an object pronoun, or the word me, which functions as the object of the preposition. However, the phrase between you and I has become accepted as an idiom of its own.
Detailed explanation-2: -idiom (US also (just) between us) used to tell someone that what you are about to say should be kept secret: Between you and me, I don’t think she’ll stay in this job very long.
Detailed explanation-3: -The short answer is that the speaker is using the subjective pronoun I after a preposition, rather than the objective me, and modern English grammar dictates that pronouns that follow a preposition such as between should be objective ones (me, you, us, him/her, it, them).
