no problem/ my pleasure



M : Excuse me. I'm looking for a public restroom. Are there any around here?

W : Well, actually I'm new here myself.

M : Well, thanks anyway.

W : _______________________

(a) It was no problem at all.

(b) My pleasure.

(c) You can talk to me anytime.

(d) Good luck. I hope you find one.



can anybody help me to solve this question? It's a short conversation between two people and I don't understand why (a) and (b) can't be the right answers. can't you say 'no problem' or 'my pleasure' when someone expresses appreciation to you?



when do you usually say 'no problem' and ' my pleasure'??
