Example (Noun): “I received a prompt reply to my email.”
Example (Verb): “She replied to my question with a detailed explanation.”

Response:
Definition: “Response” is a noun that denotes any reaction, answer, or feedback to a stimulus, request, or situation. It is a broader term encompassing various reactions or answers, and it may not always imply direct communication.
Example: “The audience’s response to the performance was overwhelmingly positive.”

Respond:

Example: “He quickly responded to the emergency situation by calling for help.”
In summary, “reply” is both a noun and a verb specific to communication, “response” is a broader noun referring to reactions in general, and “respond” is the verb form emphasizing the act of reacting or replying.
