You answer (verb) a question. You give an answer (noun) to a question.

Both are grammatical but they mean quite different things. What is the intent of sentence? (As a generalisation, English usage questions should spell out what the sentence was supposed to accomplish. English Language Learners handles questions about the more basic mechanics of the language.)

Correct:
She answers my question. Will you answer my question? ("answer" as verb)
She gives me an answer to my question. Will you give me the answer to my question? ("answer" as noun)
In this case, using "answer" as a verb is more concise and conveys the same meaning.
