This question is slightly different from question, "why do you want to work here" (question ID: 73).
QuestionID73 asks why you want to work for the company.

This question, "why do you apply for the position", asks why you apply for the job interviewed for. So besides the attractiveness of the company, you may also want to describe how the job matches your experience, skills, and career expectation.

Describe the skills you have ,that suits best for the position,you have applied for.
Never tell that i do not have any job ,or don't know anything about the job what you have applied for ,then you will be in a trouble.

Get much closer to the question what the HR poses to you , never deviate from the question, answer to the point . Never speek extra-ordinary things .

Do not try to generalise the things .Be specific whatever you speak with the HR.
