The correctly edited sentence is option A) "You've done well, Mr. Wu," said Donald. "Just between you and me, this is the most intriguing desert landscape painting I've seen in a long time."

The correct expression is "You've done well" instead of "you've done good" since the adverb "well" is modifying the verb "done".

The correct expression is "between you and me" instead of "between you and I" since an objective pronoun (me) should follow a preposition, and no a subject pronoun (I).

The correct word is "desert" and not "dessert" since it is refering to the location and to the food.

to conclude, the only option that includes the correct changes is option A.
