on the surface only; shallow; not thorough

The other options describe greater depth or completeness: deep and profound refer to significant depth or meaning, and thorough means complete and meticulous. So when describing something that doesn’t go beyond the surface, superficial fits exactly. For example, a superficial analysis might note obvious details but miss underlying causes.
