“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.
“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.
What is the story of how you met your spouse?
French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.
“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.
If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:
In bed, not in music, which is better, a drummer or a bass player?
“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.
