body without the dot selects the body element. body with the dot selects all elements with the class="body".

Conflicts occur when you have two different values for the same property where only one can render. Example: .body { color: blue; } body { color: red; } The text will be blue because it has a higher specificity. Further reading: https://css-tricks.com/specifics-on-css-specificity/

In that case, both styles will be applied. Where there is conflict, the class selector will override the element selector due to higher specificity.
