Accepted answer
- a:link - The :link selector is used to select unvisited links. The :link selector does not style links you have already visited.
- a:visited - The :visited selector is used to select visited links.
- a:hover - The :hover selector is used to select elements when you mouse over them. The :hover selector can be used on all elements, not only on links. like you can this on image, div, td etc
- a:active - The :active selector is used to select and style the active link. A link becomes active when you click on it.

a:link-a normal link means you didn't click on that link and its color will be blue.
a:visited- its the link you clicked previously and its color will be pink
a:Active- the moment you clicked on the link and its color will be red
