Is it better to put the id attribute in the tag "a" or in the tag "h1 / h2"?

Question

I learn html on the w3 school website and I am in the "html link" chapter. I don’t understand why they suggest using the id attribute in the link tag instead of the title tag.

Example:

<p> 
<a href="#C4">See also Chapter 4.</a>
</p>

<h2><a id="C4">Chapter 4</a></h2> 
<p>This chapter explains ba bla bla</p>

My attempt:

<p>
<a href="#C4">See also Chapter 4.</a>
</p>

<h2 id="C4">Chapter 4</h2>
<p>This chapter explains ba bla bla</p>

Both work the same when I try them, but my attempt will take less time. Something is wrong in my attempt that I do not understand.
