“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.
If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:
“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.
Do you have any opinion on Japanese writer/actor Yukio Mishima?
“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.
“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.
Why aren't there any Indian girls married to Chinese guys but Chinese girls married to Indian guys?
“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.
