"I have worked in retail for the past eight years. My most challenging position was with Company ABC. I found it challenging because it was a different industry than I was accustomed to. I learned a great deal during that time. This position was also my favorite because it was such a great challenge. I like to be pushed beyond my boundaries. It keeps me motivated to be better."

Great start; it is clear that while this particular role was challenging, it was also high-impact and helped you to develop your leadership skills, so may want to include those details, to give it a positive spin. Additionally, you'll want to add on to your answer a bit to share more about your favorite position, in addition to the most challenging.
