d3 to account for missing data in line chart

I am using d3.js to create a data-driven path. But the path is not accounting for missing data.

For example,

const src = [{
        "Region": "East Asia & Pacific",
        "Name": "Australia",
        "Year": 1997,
        "Value": 15.540540540540499
    },
    {
        "Region": "East Asia & Pacific",
        "Name": "Australia",
        "Year": 1998,
        "Value": 15.540540540540499
    },
    {
        "Region": "East Asia & Pacific",
        "Name": "Australia",
        "Year": 1999,
        "Value": 22.4489795918367
    },
    {
        "Region": "East Asia & Pacific",
        "Name": "Australia",
        "Year": 2000,
        "Value": 22.972972972973
    },
    {
        "Region": "East Asia & Pacific",
        "Name": "Australia",
        "Year": 2002,
        "Value": 25.3333333333333
    },
    {
        "Region": "East Asia & Pacific",
        "Name": "Australia",
        "Year": 2003,
        "Value": 25.3333333333333
    },
    {
        "Region": "East Asia & Pacific",
        "Name": "Australia",
        "Year": 2004,
        "Value": 24.6666666666667

There is no data for Year=2021. Yet, d3 is generating a path between 2001 and 2002. How can I ask d3 to not generate anything between that.

I am hoping for a gap in path between that period.
