The best answers are A. tempestuous and B. capricious.
He "couldn't handle success and remain grounded," so as his genius increased, his personal life grew more unstable. "Tempestuous" means stormy or turbulent, and "capricious" means unpredictable or given to sudden changes, both fitting this idea.
