What is the more common way to say "you're welcome" in French: “De rien” or “Pas de problème”?

If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:

“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.

“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.

“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.

“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.
