If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:
“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.
“ 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.
“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.
