Hi,
The main objective is to have a good conversation and highlight your intellectual capacity and curiosity. Thus:
It is ok to ask:
- Questions that cause positive emotions and highlight consulting pros (e.g. Mck people, getting industry knowledge, becoming an expert in something, building a great network, etc)
- Questions on the topics you are excited about (e.g. data science, digital, etc)
- Topics related to the industry in which the interviewer specializes (hint: think of the most common industries in the particular office, go to the company's website and read the recent articles about these industries to come up with the good questions)
- Non-business questions (e.g. team retreats, office traditions and celebrations)
It's not ok to ask:
- Questions that can cause negative emotions (e.g. work hours, most difficult project, etc) - you don't want to finish on a negative note, right?
- The information you should learn before the interview (e.g. typical career path, etc)
- Questions that may show that you are unfamiliar with consulting work ("Will I be able to work specifically on strategic projects?")
Be prepared and good luck!

Dear A,
Ideally, there are questions hat could show your intrinsic interest in the company, person, or both ideally. So one of the greatest question could be for example the following:
"Now, look at your career XX long, what is the one project assignment, by looking back, makes you very proud of accomplishing smth great?"
Hope it helps,
Good luck,
André
