Except for is a preposition.
Concept: a pronoun after a preposition is objective: except for you and me.
✓

बाकी Options उत्तर क्यों नहीं हैंWhy the other options are not the answer

A'Except for you and I, no one' विनम्र और औपचारिक प्रतीत होता है। परंतु 'for' preposition है, अतः सर्वनाम 'me' होना चाहिए, कर्ता रूप 'I' नहीं।'Except for you and I, no one' sounds polite and formal. But 'for' is a preposition, so the pronoun must be 'me', not the subject form 'I'.
C'Except you and I, no one' में 'for' हटाया गया, जो सुथरा रूप प्रतीत हुआ। परंतु यहाँ 'except' भी preposition है, अतः 'I' को अब भी 'me' होना चाहिए।'Except you and I, no one' drops 'for', which looked like a tidier version. But 'except' is also a preposition here, so 'I' still needs to be 'me'.
D'Except for I and you, no one' में 'I' पहले रखा गया, मानो वह विनम्र हो। परंतु 'for' के बाद 'I' अब भी अशुद्ध है, और 'you and me' शुद्ध क्रम तथा कारक है।'Except for I and you, no one' puts 'I' first as if it were polite. But 'I' is still wrong after 'for', and 'you and me' is the right order and case.
