Five fruit circles render as apples in an SVG, then animate through a sequence of state changes: one apple is removed, another becomes a lemon, and a third is deleted. The example demonstrates the D3 general update pattern using `selection.data`, `enter`, `merge`, and `exit` transitions, with `scaleOrdinal` for color and radius. Circles animate via `transition().duration(1000)` to adjust position, size, and removal over one-second intervals.
