JavaScript jQuery Basics (2014) Introduction to jQuery Include jQuery in a Project

Don't understand how to link to JQuery CDN

The JQuery website doesn't match the one in the help video, there are so many links I don't know which code to copy paste from this page: https://code.jquery.com/

I got the google code I'm using in this exercise from another course but it's saying it's wrong. Thanks-

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Take Evasive Action</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" title="no title" charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>
    <p class="warning">
      <span>It's A Trap!</span>
    </p>
    <div class="image">
        <img src="img/ackbar.gif">
    </div>
  <script src='https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.2/jquery.min.js'></script>
    <script src="js/app.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
</body>
</html>

Just click on one of the links that says 'minified'. There will be a popup with the code snippet. I think you can use any version.( 3.x, 2.x, 1.x). Worked fine with 2.x.

I'm not sure it's a specified requirement (because I only looked at this challenge, not previous ones) but it probably wants you to use 2.2.4. This is really the standard. 1.12.4 is deprectated and 3.x is technically still in beta.

Like Aleksandrs said, click the minified link and copy/paste that <script> code.
