Explanation:

Vivid sensory details describe how a person feels and what they experience. "My stomach was in knots" and "I thought my knees would give out" are physical - sensation descriptions. "I heard the crowd cheering for me" is an auditory detail. The best example among the options is "I was so nervous! My stomach was in knots." as it combines the emotional state of nervousness with a physical - sensation (stomach in knots).

Answer:

"I was so nervous! My stomach was in knots."
