“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.
French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.
“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.
Why does my crush make me jealous about having a girlfriend?
“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.
“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.
If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:
How do you emotionally react to when others seem to feel sorry for you?
“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.
