Which lineup change occurred in Fleetwood Mac in 1975?

• A. Peter Green departed the lineup
• B. Christine McVie joined
• C. Mick Fleetwood left
• D. John McVie left

Answer: (A)

This question is about recognizing how a band’s lineup changes over time, specifically who leaves or joins and when that shift happens. Fleetwood Mac’s early years were built around Peter Green, a founding guitarist who helped shape the group’s direction. When Green departed, the lineup changed in a fundamental way—the band carried on without one of its original leaders. That kind of member departure is the classic example of a lineup change.

Christine McVie had already joined the group earlier (in 1970), so her joining isn’t the event described in 1975. Mick Fleetwood and John McVie stayed with the band and did not leave. The major 1975 shift in Fleetwood Mac’s history was the addition of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, which is not one of the options. Among the given choices, the one that represents a lineup change by a member leaving is Peter Green’s departure, which is why it’s the best answer in this context.
