Hi Suhas,

The best response to start with is the block.  Take a look at the lesson on both the Forehand Block and the Backhand Block.

There are other options as well.  If you are a little more advanced you can look at the lesson on Countering A Spinny Topspin.  This will give you the options of punching or counter topspinning the topspin.

Countering a Chop Block

The key is to countering a chop block is to ensure you wait for the ball as it comes through much slower compared to a normal block. You also need to lift the ball more than you would against a regular block.
