<main>
<p class="red-text">Click here to view more <a href="#">cat photos</a>.</p>

<a href="#"><img src="https://bit.ly/fcc-relaxing-cat" alt="A cute orange cat lying on its back."></a>

In style

# is for ID
. is for class
and if you don’t put anything it’s for the element “type”

So it would be

p {
   font-size: 16px;
}

Remember to set the unit, most things in CSS can have these units: rem, em, vh, vw, %, px. So remember to set the unit, if it’s 0 there’s no need to but otherwise it’s a best practice.
