This interactive example demonstrates selection through hover using D3.js within a React framework. Five circles representing fruit items respond to mouseover and mouseout events, triggering a state change that highlights the selected circle with a black stroke. The visualization shows animated transitions as fruits are removed and one apple changes to a bitter lemon. Using D3 v5's `select`, `scaleOrdinal`, and transition methods, the SVG rendering animates circle radii and positions over 1000 milliseconds, with the selection state managed through React's state variable.
