“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.
French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.
“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.
“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.
“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.
If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:
What's the hardest part about marriage that no one ever talks about?
“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.
