This question will help them not only assess your genuine active interest in working for them but also clue them into whether you're the type of person to ask questions. The more questions you ask, the more enhanced your communications skills will seem and the more likely you are to be self-guided and successful at your job.

You're interviewing the company as much as they're interviewing you. They've provided opportunities for you to share your accomplishments and advertise your merits. This is your opportunity to provide them a platform to propose their pitch, advertise their merits, what they offer, and convince you this is a great opportunity.
