Answer

답하다 has some more meanings and also include 대답하다, 응답하다.
usually, 대답하다 is 'person vs person' while '응답하다' is 'person vs machine(computer, phone, answer machine....etc)'

Answer

I feel 응답 is most like a response (not necessarily verbal, but in action as well), while 대답 is more like a (verbal) reply, but it would be nice to get an answer from a native speaker

Answer

+1! I was curious about these ones as well.
