I betting you'll need to be far more specific to get any substantive answers. What kind of job is it? What is the setting? What is the specialty, if any? Etc.What are some good ones?
“I’m curious, what was it about my resume/application that stood out to you?”
It will highlight what they see as your strengths and also let you know what they value out of a future employee. You can then highlight those strengths and values further in the interview.

This is one of my least favorite questions to be asked during an interview. It often lowers my opinion of the applicant.
You should already understand what stands out about your CV and background, especially in the context of the application.I’m curious, what about that question that stands out to you, that makes it one of your least favorite questions to be asked?

Your CV and cover letter should have been crafted specifically to make certain things about yourself stand out.
Asking the interviewer about it in this manner can convey lots of different things, many of them negative. E.g., that you need reassurance, that you don't really underhand the position or organization, etc.
Now, if the organization solicited or headhunted you for the position, it would actually be a good question.
