Going bananas trying to create a way to count multiple names in a column

[Mumzee]

Have a simple spreadsheet

in one column I have a bunch of fruit names about 30 different ones total input in about 250 rows

trying to do a count if 5 separate names to amount to the number 5 n a cell n a different column

have tried =countif(d2:d250”apple”, “orange”, “lemon”, “green grape”)

=sumcountifs(d2:d250{apple”, “orange”, “lemon”, “green grape”})

but no luck 
please, can someone help me!

[#2]

the simplest way (conceptually) is
=countif(d2:d250,”apple”)+countif(d2:d250, “orange”)+countif(d2:d250,“lemon”)+countif(d2:d250,“green grape”)
another option using arrays is:
=sum(countif(d2:d250,{”apple”, “orange”, “lemon”, “green grape”}))

=SUM(COUNTIF(A2:A12,"BANANA")+COUNTIF(A2:A12,"APPLE")+COUNTIF(A2:A12,"GRAPES")+COUNTIF(A2:A12,"KIWI")+COUNTIF(A2:A12,"KIWI"))

@mtarler 

For me, your 'another option' is the answer.
