All are grammatical, but females are rarely described as handsome (unless they're old!). I'd substitute "beautiful" or "attractive" in its place.

4. What's the boy like?
- He is pretty.

(What about this answer? Can we answer like this?)

Answer 1

No ... if you tell a boy he is pretty, he'll be very insulted!

Females -- pretty, attractive, beautiful ...
Males -- handsome, attractive ...
