“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.
“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.
“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.
“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.
French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.
