“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.
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:
“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.
“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.
