I agree with Borhan. I find the Q-A misleading/confusing - should we go for strict synonyms (as stated in the answer feedback, though not in the question) or for nearest meaning?
Borhan said:

Awakened is an adjective. So synonym may also be an adjective.
Enlightened is appropriate.
Enlightened is appropriate.

Why not the answer is enlightened?

Awaken means make an entity to become aware, so that word aware means make some one to realise the truth.

I agree awakened should be enlightened. An awakening means starting or enlightenment of something new.

Yes, enlightened should be more appropriate.
