Sentence 2.
"Giving a presentation in front of my class" is a participial (verbal) phrase modifying the subject "I" (it describes what was happening when I developed stage fright). The other sentences either use a gerund phrase as a noun (sentence 1) or contain no verbal phrase functioning as a modifier in the same way (3 and 4).
