Just answer in any honest way and it will work out...because that way you and they can be on the same page if you are hired. You want a boss who would support your own way of handling it.

My own answer would be:

"Because I believe that coworkers who cooperate and trust one another are better for the company, I would talk to the erring employee first. I would be tactful but firm in saying this was not acceptable behavior. I would remain very alert, and if I noted any more questionable behavior, I wouldn't hesitate to go to my supervisor about it.
