Enlightenment has multiple meanings. To get the right antonym you need to be more precise.
The opposite of "the Enlightenment" is counter-enlightenment, encompassing romanticism, relativism, anti-rationalism, and vitalism. Also anti-enlightenment movement (associated with Friederich Nietzsche).
I intentionally did not disambiguate to see the resulting variance and you totally lived up to it with your options for "the Enlightenment". Thank you for that :)
If you just want an antonym for the word, I would suggest that "ignorance" is the closest equivalent, in nearly all of the senses of the word. If this is about enlightenment, as in the Buddhist concept, then "unawareness" or even "unconsciousness" might be a bit closer. To be enlightened (bodhi) in Sanskrit/Pali is to be awoken ("woke"? heh); it is related to the verb for "to wake up".
Illusion, māyā: literally, ‘that which does not exist’. In spiritual culture, real existence has 3 main properties: sat (eternality, timelessness); chit (unconditioned consciousness, life); ānanda (bliss, causeless happiness). Enlightenment is personal realization of saccidānanda; the opposite is māyā.
