The trendy thing nowadays is asking applicants to provide an example

away and refuse to fight". A safe response might be, "I asked my
supervisor for advice to deal with the situation".
I so hate it when I am asked that question in interviews. Doesn't
everyone unconsciously forget those difficult situations because they
were so unpleasant? I have wracked my brain for a good answer and
have yet to remember one.
I interview at work. I find it very valuable to see not how the
interviewee responded to the problem in the example they give, but how
they respond to the question in general.
