In which sentence are all pronouns used as objects of a preposition used correctly?

C. Tracey pushed the cart between I and Dad.

The object of a preposition can be a noun or pronoun. In sentence C, between would be the preposition, and I and Dad would be the object of the preposition. The remaining sentences are not examples of pronouns used as objects of preposition. Sentences A and B use the objective cases incorrectly, it should be: them instead of they, and her instead of she. Sentence C uses between you and me as subject and not as object of preposition.

D. Between you and me, we can move this old sofa. This is the sentence in which all the pronouns are used as objects of a preposition. See the underlined structure and the categories below:

Between: preposition

you: objective pronoun

me: objective pronoun
