I cant get safari to open up even though when I click on options it has a choice to quit safari?

Why wont Safari work? Chrome is working. When I clock the icon it has the choice to quit Safari, lke it thinks its open. The wheel spins so I cant open a file to clear history etc.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.0
