the requirement is for an a selector only.

For eg. if I wanted to write a p selector I would write it like this
p {
}

Hello everyoyne! I just wanted to ask you to check RWDesign curriculum, section “Learn HTML Forms by Building a Registration Form” step number 62.It asks to change the color of the link. I write the answer a:link { color:#dfdfe2; } but the code says that i should use an a element selector.
Thanks beforehand!

a:link {
color:#dfdfe2;
}

a:link is not the correct selector

Please only use the a selector (very similar to the p selector)
