While it is important to answer authentically, it is also important to understand that a successful answer to this question involves convincing your interviewer that you are comfortable working independently. Let them know that you are prepared to work alone as needed and you know how and when to seek further guidance.

"Yes, I am comfortable working independently. I enjoy teams, but it is nice to work alone at times. When tasked with independent work, I make sure that I understand the requirements of the task as well as the delivery timeline. I then work on it to the best of my ability and take measures such as consulting manuals or doing independent research to resolve any obstacles. It happens rarely, but I will reach out to a coworker or superior in the event I run into a challenge I'm unable to navigate on my own."
