Thanks you.

capricious is the correct choice:
Capricious: Given to sudden and unaccountable changes of mood or behaviour.
Versatile: Able to adapt or be adapted to many different functions or activities.

I can see why you would easily mix them up, looking at the 'changeable' aspect of the question, but 'versatile' and 'fickle' don't match at all.
