“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.
“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.
If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:
How do I change a truck’s engine oil?
“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.
French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.
“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.
How does a 45-year-old man get a girlfriend?
“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.
