Explanation

nth-of-type is a structural pseudo-class selector introduced in CSS3, allowing you to target elements based on their position among siblings of the same type (e.g., p:nth-of-type(2) selects the second <p> element). Options A (ID selector, #id), B (Class selector, .class), and D (Tag selector, p, div, etc.) are all CSS1 selectors that existed long before CSS3 - they're foundational and were available in the earliest versions of CSS. CSS3's big contribution was a rich set of new pseudo-class and pseudo-element selectors, including nth-of-type, nth-child, :not(), and :last-child.

Memory tip: Think "3 for 3" - CSS3 brought structural selectors like nth-of-type. If a selector counts or positions elements, it's almost certainly a CSS3 addition.
