Correct: please answer me, answer my question, send an answer to me. Incorrect: answer to me. There is an exception, however, with the use of the phrase answer to meaning 'explain' and possibly 'be punished'.

I have no way of knowing which is more common, and I don't understand why it is important, either. They are all correct, and you can use any with no problem.
