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”.
If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:
Why do people think Justin Bieber is worse than Joseph Stalin?
“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.
Why did Trump call Biden and Schumer Palestinians?
“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.
