Audit and Tax have similar responsibilities; however, you will be out more often engaging face-to-face with the firms' clients in Audit. Choosing Audit, you will need strong people and communication skills. Tax generally requires less interpersonal and client-facing work and entails more reading and research.
The interviewers would like to know the reasoning behind your preference. Express your choice in a positive manner that still uplifts the value of the other. For instance, if you chose Audit over Tax, it's crucial that you do not put a career path in Tax down in any way.

"I have performed extensive research on Audit vs. Tax and found that Audit was a better match for my extroverted nature. I love communicating with others and digging for answers to the toughest challenges. The thought of engaging face to face and over the phone with KPMG clients is exciting to me. Last week when I attended a KPMG information session, I learned a tremendous amount about the firms' audit practice which further confirmed my decision to pursue Audit over Tax."
