There must exist a difference between them two, or else both of them can't be in the same list to select.

interior = interior of a building, or interior of a building-like organization
opposite of interior = exterior
Generally, the exterior must be visible, the interior is visible only if you go inside.
The body's interior - the body can be considered a building-like structure
Processes are internal or external.

They both have a very similar meaning; however one difference is that interior can be used as a noun or an adjective, but internal can only be used as an adjective.
Example: The building's interior. (The inside of the building - a noun, a thing.)
However internal can only function as an adjective.
The building's internal space is very large. ( here internal (an adjective) describes the space as being internal, not external.)
