My Adobe Flash Player is out of date. It wants to know if I want...?

Question

I am running Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa.  
My Adobe Flash Player is out of date.  
It wants to know if I want:

APT for Debian/Ubuntu
YUM for Linux
.tar.gz for Linux
.rpm for Linux.

I have no idea what they are talking about, and I SURE don't wanna mess my system up.  I also have no idea what I am doing - I just want my system to run well.  Which of the 4 above versions do I want?

Many thanks,  ~Cindy!  :)
