“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:
Why were the Japanese soldiers in WW II so hesitant to surrender in battle?
“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.
French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.
What are some tips for balancing chores, work, and family life as an adult with children?
“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.
