The interviewer needs to know if you respond defensively to situational conflict, versus approaching such situations diplomatically, working swiftly towards a communal end goal. They want to know whether you'll be part of the problem or part of the solution.

Explain the steps you took to work through the example you provide. Taking a thoughtful approach through actively listening is a good place to start. Detail the situation leading up to the conflict. Show that you took the initiative and stayed calm to resolve the situation. Include the steps you took to de-escalate. Explain how it was resolved. Do your best to exhibit your soft skills and your adeptness at non-defensive communication.
