Usage Note
Réponse pairs naturally with question and is used in both spoken and written contexts. The fixed phrase en réponse à ('in response to') opens formal letters and emails. Its verb counterpart is répondre; note that répondre à quelqu'un takes the preposition à ('to answer someone'), not a direct object.
Examples
"Il attend ta réponse."
Natural Translation
He is waiting for your answer.
