Ensure to review the job posting before the interview to familiarize yourself with the work involved. At the time of the interview, you should know whether this position entails independent or team work. As such, should the position entails independent work, you should answer this question by saying you prefer independent work. Should the position entails team work, you should answer this question by saying you prefer team work.

Should you not answer adequately as per the duties involved, you may be automatically disqualified - for instance, if you answer you prefer team work and dislike independent work when applying for a position that mostly entails independent duties. Not only will this show you are unsuitable for this position as you did not do your due diligence beforehand (as you did not read the job posting before applying for the position (nor before the interview)), but the interviewer may also believe you are simply looking for any job without being serious about working for this company particularly.
