The answer would be 2 in browserland, but not because the selector is
more 'applicable' (or specific).
<!--
.a .c { background-color: aqua; }
.b .c { background-color: black; }
-->
</style>
<div class="a"><div class="b"><div class="c">Test</div></div></div>
is equivalent. The second rule wins, but only because it is second.
Swap the order and the 'less applicable' rule wins.
Remember the ' ' operator only implies containment. It does not say
anything about how many levels are between the two selectors.
