My .NetFramework version does not work with my Microsoft.SharePointClient.dll version.  Which version  should I use?

I am trying to add some CSOM functionality to my C# program such that I will be allowed to do CRUD operations on a Microsoft List (aka SharePoint List).  Assuming you know what CSOM and CRUD is, I will not bore you with the details of the specifics.  The end result of adding the references to the DLLS and the proper namespace, I get an error in my IDE:

> "Could not install package 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll
> 15.0.4420.1017'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets '.NETFramework,Version=v4.7.2', but the package does not
> contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible
> with that framework. For more information, contact the package
> author."

And so, I have two questions:

What .NetFramework version is compatible  with Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll 15.0.4420.1017 ?
(question 1)

What Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll version is compatible  with .NETFramework Version=v4.7.2 ?
(question 2)

What I have tried:

I was following a tutorial. I added the DLL as a reference and I included the proper namespace when I got this error

You already asked this question here[^]. You already know that the version you picked is targeted for a much earlier version of .NET, and that this isn't an official release. If you have additional questions, it's common courtesy to ask for clarifications on your original question; not to post a new largely duplicated one.
