Are you a reliable friend?
This question should have a simple answer. Of course, you are a reliable friend! What the interviewer is looking for, is an example of a time when you were a stand-up friend to someone else. Being a great friend will show the interviewer that you are an unselfish person, and willing to go out of your way to help someone out.

Yes, I am a reliable friend because whenever my friend needs me, I would be there. Even if I cannot meet up with them, I will call them to try to talk to them on asking what happened and how they are feeling. I want my friend to feel reassured that there are people who care and love them.
