Why is it feminine?

Risposta is feminine because it derives from the Latin "respondere" (to answer). The Italian noun "risposta" comes from the Latin feminine past participle "responsa," which became the standard noun form for "answer" in Romance languages. The feminine gender was preserved through Italian's evolution from Latin and is reinforced by the "-a" ending, which became the standard marker for feminine nouns in Italian.
