This question serves to inform them how you learned about the position, ie., whether you saw the job posting or were alerted by an insider. This could serve them to know if you are a more desirable candidate than you might otherwise appear. Additionally, they are curious what kind of inside perspective you might have on the position which you are competing for.

Be honest. Detail to them how you found out about this job opportunity, and what you know about it based on your research or otherwise. Break down what attracted you to the position, and hint at the research you've performed.

"I knew someone who worked for Walgreens some ten years ago. I don't stay in touch with them since they moved to Thailand, but I do remember they had nothing but positive things to say about their experience. Based on everything I've learned about the company's mission and values, it seemed like a good fit and an opportunity worth pursuing."
