Read this sentence from " The destructors"

Beyond, paying no more attention to him than to a stranger, the gang had gathered round T; Blackie was dimly aware of the fik lenses of favour.

The word fickleness suggests that the gang
A- is easily distracted
B- is angry with Blackie
C- randomly follows other
D- quickly gives into pressure

The correct answer would be C. Randomly follows others. This is because in the novel the gang has decided that T has better ideas or at least more interesting ones. They are intrigued by the prospect of blowing up the house and are eager to become T's followers, instead of Blackie's. To be fickle means to easily change loyalties.

In the story when Trevor or T becomes a new leader of the gang, the latter listen to him and gather around him as the excerpt also mentions. Blackie is a former leader of the gang and in this excerpt when T becomes a leader of the gang he is angry because his view about not destroying the house is not accepted. It shows the gang doesn't have such a code or something similar that they follow others randomly. The correct answer is C.
