When you are cornered by such a tricky interview question, you need to stay calm and composed and think back to a time when you actually had to make a tough decision. No one is expecting or asking you to talk about a situation that will be equivalent to India deciding on how to tackle the threat and friendship of China.

So, you can talk about the difficulty you faced when choosing a stream in school or college. That situation was a challenge in your little world and it is worth talking about. Or if you opted for an unconventional career path (anything different from engineering or doctoring), then you can tell the interviewer how you convinced your family to let you go ahead with it.
