agree  Kitty Brussaard: This is indeed the standard term. If 'conclusie van antwoord' is followed by a phrase like 'in reconventie' or 'in vrijwaring', it needs to be translated differently.

Reference: conclusie van antwoord

Reference information:
Conclusie van antwoord is de reactie op de dagvaarding. Het is dus het eerste antwoord van de gedaagde.

In Am. recht:

"An answer is a formal written response to the plaintiff's complaint in which the defendant responds to all of the allegations in the complaint and sets forth any defenses to all or part of plaintiff's claims. An answer is filed by the defendant after s/he has been served with a copy of the complaint." (https://nysd.uscourts.gov/)

https://thelawdictionary.org/answer/ => Any pleading setting up matters of fact by way of defense. In chancery pleading, the term denotes a defense in writing, made by a defendant to the allegations contained in a bill or information filed by the plaintiff against him. In pleading, under the Codes of Civil Procedure, the answer is the formal written statement made by a defendant setting forth the grounds of his defense.
---------------------------
Black's Law Dictionary, 9th ed., Bryan A. Garner, ISBN 978-0-314-19949-2:

Answer, n. 1. A defendant's first pleading that addresses the merits of the case usu. by denying the plaintiffs allegations. An answer usu. sets forth the defendant’s defenses and counterclaims."
---------------------------
https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/answer

Answer
A defendant's first pleading in a case, which addresses the dispute on the merits and presents any defenses and counterclaims. A typical answer denies most of the plaintiff's allegations and claims complete defenses to allegations that are not denied.
---------------------------
FYI:
Black's Law Dictionary, 9th ed., Bryan A. Garner, ISBN 978-0-314-19949-2:

Reply, n. 1. Civil Procedure. In federal practice, the plaintiff's response to the defendant's counterclaim. 2. Common law pleading. The plaintiff's response the defendant’s play or answer. - The reply is the plaintiffs second pleading and it is followed by the defendant’s rejoinder.

Voor de goede orde: de conclusie van antwoord is de reactie van de gedaagde in de dagvaardingsprocedure.
In hoger beroep wordt de reactie op de dagvaarding memorie van antwoord genoemd.
