“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.
“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.
“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.
What do you think of casting Emma Watson as the next James Bond?
“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.
If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:
French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.
Whats the rule that makes "please" pronounced the same as "pleas"?
“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.
