It should look like this 

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <HTML>
      <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-8">
      </head>
    <body>
    </body>
    </HTML>

Also I edited you post to include the correct markdown. If you click edit now you will see how to format it in future.

Can you post the question ? It is taking to task 1 and its bit painstaking to go through tasks 1 to 3.
