All are correct depending on the context je vous en prie is used when addressing authorities or people you don’t know while de rien can be used when addressing your friends or family members
Je vous en prie est la correcte réponse
"De rien" is an informal way of saying "Don't mention it" after you've done something gracious for someone and the relevant person thanks you. "Je vous en prie" is the correct and respectful way of saying "You're welcome". I hope this answer helps.
Your are welcome = vous êtes la bienvenue
To say welcome in french is Welcome=Bienvenue
"Je vous en prie " is more polite or a more formal way to say "you're welcome" "de rien" is something you will use when talking to friends or relatives.
In other words, the word “ welcome” could come in an aspect that someone gives or offers you something or you receive something from someone and say; - thank you And the person response( de rien, je vous en prie) those words in bracket represents the word you’re “welcome”
Hello Cormac, The right word to use for saying you’re welcome in French is not “ je vous en prie” neither is it “ de rien” The easiest and quickest way to wish someone welcome in French is simply to say “ Bienvenue”. This word can be used on its own. just the English word “ Welcome”, not to mention similar greetings Many other languages. Hope this helps you.

Both are correct. “Je vous en prie” is more formal though. “De rien” can be used with friends and close people. Hope that helps :)
Both! You can use either one. “Je vous en prie” is a little bit more formal while “de rien” is more casual and the most commonly used. However, it’s not uncommon to hear “Je vous en prie” in fairly casual settings as well :)
