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

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

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

“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.
