Your template has been given a list named options. Loop through each item in options and create an <li> inside the <ul>. Print out the name key of each item.
from flask import Flask, render_template
from options import OPTIONS
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
def index():
return render_template('options.html', options=OPTIONS)
<ul>
<li>Treehouse</li>
</ul>

<ul>
{% for option in options %}
<li>{{ option.name }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
It is probably best for you to re-watch the videos so that you fully understand this because you will be doing it quite often! :)
