Cette pomme est bonne. - Oui, c'est bon.

I got this question:

Cette pomme est bonne. - Oui, c'est _______.

I answered bon because I knew to use the masculine, but my question is why it's c'est in this case. I've read the relevant pages ("C'est" vs "Il/Elle est" to say it is/she is/he is in French and Standalone adjectives after c'est are always masculine) and my interpretation is that this would fall under 2b of "C'est" vs "Il/Elle est" to say it is/she is/he is in French:

il est/elle est for statements and opinions related to specific things.

Bad hint?In today's A2 writing exercise: https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/my-languages/french/exercises/overview/160?utm_source=blk&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=msg_448551You give the hint: Use "faire la connaissance de" = to get acquainted with. But it is counted wrong. I wrote "et ses griffes ont deja fait la connaissance de notre canape. And "la" and "de" are crossed out and "de" replaced with "avec". -- Either the hint is wrong, our the correction is wrong. N'est-ce pas?
