a) Naturally
b) Obviously
c) superficially
d) Artificially​

Answer 1

$d) Artificially$

Answer 2

The one word for the phrase on the surface is c) superficially.

• Here, superficially as on the surface refers to the outer appearance and not the deeper outlook.
• For example, "He checked the accounts superficially only, otherwise, he would have found the errors." Here, it is said that the accounts were not checked into detail, else errors could have been discovered.
• Naturally refers to things taking place on their own, without any intervention; or by nature.
• Obviously refers to things that are pretty clear.
• Artificially refers to things that are manipulated or that the things are not occurring naturally.
