I don't know how to add a bottom margin to my list in CSS. Have used margin-bottom property but doesn't seem to work

ul { margin-bottom: 20px; }

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Lists</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
</head>
<body>
    <ul>
        <li>Viverra rutrum orci lacinia iaculis mi per fermentum tortor malesuada, nullam morbi fringilla augue arcu primis torquent</li>
        <li>Id aliquam nisi accumsan felis pretium enim arcu fames</li>
        <li>Eros mollis sociosqu condimentum lectus cursus pellentesque et laoreet</li>
        <li>Duis nullam accumsan conubia auctor aliquam posuere nam tortor mollis a</li>
    </ul>
</body>
</html>
style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
ul {
  list-style-type: none;
  list-style-image: img('marer.png');
  margin-bottom: 20px;
}

If you are trying to add a margin-bottom to the individual elements in your list you would write

ul li {
    margin-bottom: 20px;
}
