Question 2: Name the Marble Blast Platinum level that consists of solely a large, moving interior.
If scenery is not included then CDC is right. Quaked path has scenery that is static.
Also "moving interior" is singular, not plural, so that rules out both, and the question also asks for "large".
Platform Race 1/2 has the moving platform + scenery move up with the player, making it the largest moving interior in MBP, but it does not consistent largely of that (it's more about challenges).

Fun knowledge

If you count custom Marble Blast Platinum online levels, Safe Platforms by Buzzmusic is one large moving interior (I think).
