had responded vs has responded

Both "had responded" and "has responded" are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "Had responded" is the past perfect tense, which indicates an action that occurred before another action in the past. "Has responded" is the present perfect tense, which indicates that an action was completed recently or has relevance to the present.
