Hello Usman!

What you'll want to do is take your shirt size code block and insert it after the shirt color code block. You currently have the size code inside of the color code. The <select> drop-down menu is looking for the <option> elements nested inside of it, and isn't sure what to do with the <input type="radio"> elements that are currently nested as well. This is a really simple fix and afterwards your code should resemble this:

...
    <form action="index.html" method="post">
      <h1>Shirt Order Form</h1>
      <label for="color">Shirt Color:</label>
      <select id="color" name="shirt_color">
        <option value="red">Red</option>
        <option value="yellow">Yellow</option>
        <option value="purple">Purple</option>
        <option value="blue">Blue</option>
        <option value="green">Green</option>
        <option value="orange">Orange</option>
      </select>

    <label>Shirt Size:</label>
      <input type="radio" id="small" value="small" name="shirt_size">
      <input type="radio" id="medium" value="medium" name="shirt_size">
      <input type="radio" id="large" value="large" name="shirt_size">
...

Hope this helps!
