C Correct answer
Explanation

To provoke is to stir up, rouse, or stimulate someone to action or feeling. 'Roused' is the closest synonym as it captures the sense of being awakened or stirred. 'Pleased' is the opposite, 'encouraged' is positive, and 'persuaded' involves convincing rather than stirring.
