There is a difference between these two sentences. e.g.1 may mean the ANSWER is only

answer is belonging to this question.

IT SHOULD BE : Please prepare the answer FOR the question.
BECAUSE YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING FOR THE QUESTION AND THAT YOU
HAVE NOT YET FOUND OUT THE EXACT ANSWER. THE HINT IS THE WORD:

FOR is the best choice while TO is quite o.k. Anway, please choose (FOR) for your
specified question. I do not understand why you mentioned your specified question so late.
