it's nothing vs that's ok

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'It's nothing' is typically used to downplay a situation or to respond to someone thanking you. On the other hand, 'That's ok' is used to reassure someone that a mistake or inconvenience is forgiven or not a problem.
