Why is it feminine?

Resposta is feminine because it derives from the Latin noun "responsum" (neuter). In Portuguese, many nouns ending in "-a" became feminine through regular sound changes and morphological patterns. The feminine gender of "resposta" follows the common Portuguese pattern where nouns ending in "-a" are typically feminine, rather than being an exceptional retention from Latin.
