I'm assuming you are doing the code challenge for the section you're currently in. It seems that, along the way, your elements have gotten jumbled around.

The <option> elements are outside of the select. <option> elements always go inside of the <select> elements because these are the options that the select uses.

The radio buttons and the label for "Shirt Size:" should be outside of the select element instead of inside. They do not belong to the select element.

Also, it seems that you have a ton of extra space after "Shirt Size:". Delete the extra space at the end of "Shirt Size:".

You need to move the inputs and the label outside of the select element.
