ID can be used only once in a page but class can be repeated any number of times.

You would use ID for something that will be used only once per page, like wrapper , header or footer .

Class can be used as many times as you desire, and would be used for something like post_title , post_content or post_metadata .

Both answers are completely correct. Rule of thumb though, IDs are unique, classes aren't, hence only using them once in a page.
