If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:
“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.
“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.
Why was Nietzsche against essentialism?
“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.
“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.
French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.
