Five circles represent apples in an SVG bowl, and a sequence of animated updates demonstrates D3's general update pattern. The visualization starts with five apples, then removes one, changes another into a lemon, and finally filters out a third fruit, using enter, merge, and exit selections. D3 v6 scales map fruit types to colors and radii, while transitions animate radius and position changes over one second. The `fruitBowl` module handles the data join with `selection.data`, `enter.append`, and `exit.remove` APIs.
