Why is it feminine?

Pergunta is feminine because it derives from Latin "percontāta," the feminine past participle of "percontāri" (to ask), which retained the feminine grammatical gender through Portuguese's evolution from Latin. Like many Portuguese nouns ending in "-a" derived from Latin feminine forms, it naturally became feminine.
