How do I target .star-bg and add a 1s transition for the fill property?

I wrote a code that works, however I can't pass the test. I am supposed to make this transition on hover? I don't understand the question :/

        <circle class="star-bg" fill="#40adcf" stroke="#fff" stroke-width="6" cx="180" cy="180" r="108.3"/>
        <path class="star" fill="#fff" stroke="#fff" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" d="M180 107.8l16.9 52.1h54.8l-44.3 32.2 16.9 52.1-44.3-32.2-44.3 32.2 16.9-52.1-44.3-32.2h54.8z"/>

.star-bg {

Maja Savic Best is to place the .star-bg div around the circle property. When the transition is placed inside the property it would not work. 

<g>
<div class="star-bg">
        <circle fill="#40adcf" stroke="#fff" stroke-width="6" cx="180" cy="180" r="108.3"/>
        <path class="star" fill="#fff" stroke="#fff" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" d="M180 107.8l16.9 52.1h54.8l-44.3 32.2 16.9 52.1-44.3-32.2-44.3 32.2 16.9-52.1-44.3-32.2h54.8z"/>
</div>
    </g>

.star-bg {
transition: fill 1s;
}
