Show your confidence to your interviewer by explaining your willingness to be part of the team and not being afraid to pick up the slack when needed, but make sure you don't allow someone to take advantage of you.

"I will always choose to be a team player. If I had a co-worker call in sick, I would take over what I could. The only time I would draw the line would be if I felt I was being taken advantage of for some reason. For example, if they were purposefully being inefficient and expecting me to pick up the slack. For the sake of the company, I am always willing to go above and beyond the expectations."

I would accept it as an opportunity grow and learn; however if the same person continues to do so, I would not agree to complete their task, especially when I have my own tasks to complete.
Rachelle's Feedback
I can certainly see your point that you would not want to be taken advantage of. I believe there is a softer way of delivering this. An approach that sounds more team-minded. I have provided an example below.
"When it comes to being a team player, I accept all tasks as needed, to reach our common goal. I would draw a line if it were the same person continually dropping the ball; however, I suspect that teamwork is very positive here at Alcoa."
