What is the more common way to say "you're welcome" in French: “De rien” or “Pas de problème”?

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

“ 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”.

“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.

“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.

If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:

Why did Cartman love Heidi purely with heart, her being the first one he ever did, but then one day Butters tells him that all women are manipulative and then he began to believe that she was a bad person and pretended to be a victim?

“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.
