This example demonstrates a pet-selection menu built with React and D3. The interface displays a dropdown list of animal options, and selecting a pet updates the displayed value through React state. The `DropDown` component renders a `<select>` element, mapping over the options array and using the `selectedValue` prop to mark the chosen item. React’s `useState` hook manages the selection, while D3’s utility functions support the overall rendering pipeline, though the menu itself relies on native HTML form controls.
