“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.
“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.
“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.
Would the word literate carry the same meaning with public (common wealth) in 1900 vs today 2020?
