'回应' is often used in formal or semi-formal contexts but is also common in everyday speech. It emphasizes the act of replying or reacting rather than just acknowledging. Unlike '回答' which is more about answering questions, '回应' can also imply emotional or situational reactions.

Common Confusion

Do not confuse '回应' with '回答' (huídá). '回答' is specifically about answering questions, while '回应' covers a broader range of responses including actions and attitudes.
