This area chart visualizes the cost of sales from 2000 to 2013, using a yellow filled region beneath a black line to emphasize magnitude over time. The code employs D3 v5 APIs including `scaleTime`, `scaleLinear`, `axisBottom`, `axisLeft`, `line`, and `area` with `curveBasis` for smooth interpolation. Data is loaded from a CSV file via `d3.csv`, parsed, and rendered as an SVG within a React framework. The chart includes labeled axes, tick marks, and a title.
