My optgroup label isn't passing in this challenge. Unsure as to why this is happening.

It says "Oops! Looks like Task 2 is no longer passing." and will only allow for me to 'Go to Task Two' to continue but in last task, it passes and runs fine... not sure what is wrong here and why I can't pass this level. Can someone check for me?

Hi Kaitlyn,

The challenge is asking you to create a label element, not an optgroup :

"Add a label element to the select menu with the text 'Shirt Color:'"

Good luck.
