“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.
French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.
If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:
Has your mother ever walked in on you at an inappropriate time?
“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.
“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.
“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.
How many wishes do people get on their birthday?
“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.
