Explanation
'Obfuscated' means to make unclear, confusing, or obscure. The antonym must mean to make clear. Option (c) 'illuminated' means to light up or clarify, the direct opposite. Options (a) 'mystified', (b) 'obscured', and (d) 'muddled' are all synonyms of obfuscated, meaning to confuse. The writer made the issue unclear; illuminated would make it clear. Therefore option C is correct. Cross-checked with Oswaal CDS Yearwise Solved Papers.
