The employer is throwing you a curve to see how you handle it. If this were truly a big deal you wouldn’t have been invited in for an interview. So relax! Here is how to handle this question effectively.
Do NOT respond by saying, “Yes, but…” They win, you lose.
Focus on why you are a good fit for this job or this industry. Identify your relevant work or internship experience or coursework where you acquired the necessary skills and knowledge to do the job or make a contribution to the industry.
