A row of 20 circles animates vertically to form a moving sine wave across the SVG canvas. Each circle’s y-position is computed from its index using the sine function, with time passed to the D3 timer shifting the phase. The code uses d3.select, range, and timer, along with Math.sin, to update the circle’s cy attribute on each tick. The circle radius is derived from the SVG width divided by the number of circles, and the stroke and fill use default black.
