There are lots of different methodologies that a project manager can choose to use when overseeing a project. The interviewer wants to know that you're familiar with some of these methodologies so that you would be able to successfully assist a project manager. You want to show that you are flexible and knowledgeable in this area, in addition to understanding which methodology best suits the project at hand.

"I learned about many project management methodologies while at school. I'm well versed in the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) book and how the structure it outlines for a project helps one determine the different stages of their project. During my last internship, I was able to successfully utilize the waterfall model for a construction project that I assisted in leading. I'm also knowledgeable about the critical path method and am aware that it's a good methodology to use for smaller projects. I'm looking forward to using this method, as well as others, during my career."

There is more than one methodology that one can choose from like the waterfalls or agile but I think it is important to follow the one that your team is using so everyone can be familiar with it and also the one that will make the success out of the project. You need to take account of your resources and make the best decision in the approach.
Chad's Feedback
This is a good start! You do well to include a couple of different methodologies in your response, and acknowledge the importance choosing the correct methodology has in the success of the project. If you do not have a preferred project management methodology, include some benefits of each one, or share examples of times you've had success using different methods, to assure the interviewer that you understand which methodology will best suit the project at hand.
