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”.

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