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.
“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:
Why can't we send flat Earthers to space and show them the shape of Earth?
“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.
“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.
“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.
Whats the rule that makes "please" pronounced the same as "pleas"?
“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.
