“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.
“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.
French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.
How do you write a letter to your uncle who sent you money for your birthday outfit?
“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.
“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.
If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:
Just sitting at home with this huge cock. Who can take care of it for me?
“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.
