The most nearly opposite word to "nervous" is "composed". Therefore, the correct option to fill the gap in the sentence is "composed". The sentence suggests that it is normal to feel nervous when you first take the stage, but you soon become "composed", meaning you become calm, confident and in control of your emotions. The other options, "balanced", "peaceful", and "normal" do not convey the opposite meaning of "nervous" and do not make sense in the context of the sentence.
