A “self closing tag” includes the closing-symbol and thus has this form: “<... />”

That would be wrong. A “link” tag is written in the header to tell the browser to get some outside data - usually CSS stylesheets.

What we commonly call a “link” is indeed an anker-tag or a-tag. But in this particular lesson, it actually wants a link-tag.
