A. meaningful: worthwhile.
B. elusive: difficult to find/catch/achieve. BEST FIT
C. popular: liked/admired
D. expensive: costly
E. profitable: yielding profit
Nothing in the argument talks about profit, cost or popularity or if the purpose is worthwhile. The squid cannot survive in shallow waters and therefore it is difficult to catch intact. So "elusive" is the BEST FIT.
