Add display-inline:block on a tag

a{
cursor: pointer;
text-decoration: none;
font-family: 'Ubuntu', sans-serif;
font-size: 1.2rem;
font-weight: bold;
color: black;
display:inline-block;
transition: all 0.3s ease-in;}

a:hover{
color: aquamarine;
transform: translateY(-10px)}

<nav id="navbar">
    <a id="nav-brand" href="">MrinB</a>
    <div id="div-items">
        <ul id="ul-items">
            <li class="li-items"><a id="a" href=""> Home</a></li>
            <li class="li-items"><a id="a" href="">Contact</a></li>
            <li class="li-items"><a id="a" href="">About Me</a></li>
        </ul>
    </div>
</nav>
