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:
What's your wildest & weirdest fantasy?
“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.
“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.
“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.
How did you become popular in school?
“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.
