Answer

Ruling: Activated and triggered abilities can be responded to since they go on the chain. Passive abilities and replacement effects do not go on the chain and cannot be responded to.

Nuances:

  • The original asker conflated "triggered" with "replacement effects" but these are distinct - triggered abilities go on the chain while replacement effects do not
