You want to target the body tag not #body. That is why you are not passing the challenge.

@media screen and (min-width:480px) {
  body {
      background-color: navy; 
       }
}

You've got the right idea, but body is the element tag, not an ID.

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
 #body {  /* You don't want the # here <--- */
  background-color: navy; 
 }
}
