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 is more polite, de rien is meant for a friend
Je t’en prie ( for friends ) je vous en prie ( polite way )
It's depending on whom you are talking to. If it's a friend, or any other closer person, you can say "de rien". If not you have to say " je vous en prie " .
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”
