Questions like this can either stand on their own or be a follow-up to a previous question. During an interview, the interviewer will ask follow-up questions once you provide an answer. The reason for this is to explore a topic in more detail or confirm your knowledge of the topic. You should always be prepared for follow-up questions. Keeping your answers brief and to the point will encourage interviewers to ask follow-up questions and allow you to demonstrate your knowledge of the topic in more detail.

"While it is rare, I do occasionally encounter issues when using one of the object-oriented programming languages. These typically are due to an unavailable library or set of code that I need, or having to rewrite the code for the object I need for my program. These issues are easily overcome. By adding my new code for the library, the issue is not likely to be encountered twice."

When trying to reuse a class or import a class from a library, which is a subclass dependant on parent classes, it is necessary to run lots of extra code. The class you are trying to use comes with a whole unwanted 'environment.' Using inheritance can also be a problem if a parent or base class of a class you are using from a library is changed. This can break your code. The solution requires rewriting the code so that it works with the updated base class.
