The scenario you described is an example of B. Illusion of Transparency.
The illusion of transparency is a cognitive bias where individuals believe that their internal states, such as emotions or nervousness, are more apparent to others than they actually are. In the context of your scenario, the student is experiencing the illusion that the audience can tell how nervous they are, even though the external signs of nervousness may not be as noticeable to others as the student perceives.
