When I just finished some work, which one below, A or B, is better to say and why?
A. It's done!
B. It's been done!
To me, A might sound simpler and more natural. But considering the grammar, I'm not sure if the simple present tense is appropriate here.

This is not a grammar issue.
It is an issue of rhetoric.
Q: Did you do it? A: Yes, it's done.
The most emphatic for one thing that is done and finished at the time of speaking.
Q: Did you do it? A: Yes, it's been done, [recently, lately, not so long ago]
The action is accomplished but when it was done is not important, just that it was in the past at the time of speaking.
