A bowl of fruit demonstrates interactive selection and animated updates in D3.js v5. Clicking a circle highlights it with a black stroke and updates a selectedFruit variable, triggering a re-render. The fruitBowl function uses data joins with enter, merge, and exit selections, applying transitions on circle radii and positions. Ordinal scales map fruit types to colors and sizes, while setTimeout calls animate changes like removing apples, replacing one with a lemon, and filtering the data.
