Why is it feminine?

Respuesta is feminine because it derives from the Latin verb "respondere" (to answer). The Spanish feminine suffix "-uesta" (from Latin "-ūta") naturally produces feminine nouns. Words ending in "-uesta" in Spanish are consistently feminine, as seen in "propuesta" (proposal) and "dispuesta" (disposed). The word inherited its feminine gender through the productive feminine noun-formation pattern in Spanish.
