Chris W.C1 Kwiziq Q&A super contributor Correct answer

bien is an adverb and doesn't change with gender.

bon, bonne, bons, bonnes -- good (the adjective, which changes accordingly)
bien -- well (the adverb, which is immutable)

Elle chante bien. -- She sings well.
Elle est  bonne chanteuse. -- She is a good singer.
