Five apples render as nested SVG circles in a row, their size and color mapped by `d3.scaleOrdinal` to fruit type. The code uses the `fruitBowl` module to draw circles and labels with `.enter()`, `.merge()`, and `.exit()` transitions. Timed actions mutate the `fruits` array, removing one apple, replacing another with a lemon, and filtering out a third, demonstrating incremental updates to the DOM.
