Behavioral question : is conflict with Manager and arguments with Manager shold have the same answer

If you have to get into an argument over a difference in opinion, you are not ready for leadership. If getting into an argument is the only way to get things done, you are in the wrong company. A conflict with your manager can be over differing opinion. But if that conflicting opinion results in an outright argument, both you and your manager need coaching to be better role models at your company

Just my $0.02 - this is a crap question. You can only lose by answering this honestly. Idk why companies ask this particular question.

You can answer most behavior questions with same story but with a bit of different framing. Prep 8-10 stories from ur professional experience that can be framed into a few different answers.

There are different phases to the decision making process, before the decision is made people should be free to bring up things for discussion and debate. When the decision is made, unless it will lead to catastrophe, it’s time to get in line and support the decision. If it didn’t go your way, maybe the next one will. No one gets there way all of the time, just accept it and move on to the next thing.

There is a right answer for these questions. "I never consider it a conflict or argument. I have a set of priorities that my discipline advocates for to ensure quality of release, and the other party has equally valid principles. Occasionally the interpretation of these priorities are misaligned. I avoid these situations by involving stakeholders early on to align on the full picture and ensure we iterate frequently together so no voice is lost. When a misalignment does occur, I walk us backwards until we find where the assumption occured and work it out from there. What we sometimes forget is that we all have the same goal of delivering value to the customer." Never have had a problem with that answer.
