Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- English (US)
@lerabeth Adding to that, "answer" does not need "to", but "respond" and "reply" need "to".
One other thing is that we don't usually say "reply to a question". We say "answer a question", or "respond to a question", but rarely "reply to a question" unless the question is in an email or letter.

Bonjour,
Avec "answer," vous répondez a une question.
"Respond" et "reply" sont utilisés de la même manière, et ils signifient toute réponse.
