Answer truthfully, but try to have learned ahead of time when the employer wants to fill the position. If the company must fill a slot in one week and you had something else planned, you have to decide if you want to change your plans, withdraw your application, or list your delayed availability in hopes they have a delay or a second opening. On the other hand, a company may be interviewing for a position not opening for months. If you know that, the company might be more confident you'll still be available if you list your availability closer to when they need you. If you are currently employed, the best answer is usually "in two weeks" or "two weeks from offer," especially for salaried positions. Your new employer is hoping you are the kind of person who gives at least a two-week notice when leaving a position.

They want to know when you can start. Like, if you have another job, you might want to give them a few days notice before you leave. Just fill in today's date or put "start anytime."
