Itu jeruk. = the verb "is" is implied. That [is] an orange.
So, finally, the meaning is equivalent to a demonstrative in English.
Jeruk itu = the "itu" is here the article.
Itu can mean as an article the, or that.
Jeruk itu = That orange/The orange.

What's the difference between Jeruk tersebut and Jeruk itu?
I was asked to choose which answer said "That Orange" out of three answers. I started looking for Jeruk itu but it wasn't there, so I got it wrong and it told me "Jeruk tersebut" was the correct answer.
But why? What's the difference? Please and thank you! :))
What's the difference between Jeruk tersebut and Jeruk itu?
There is a difference in meaning, but both can be translated as "that orange" (depending upon context).
"tersebut" is more formal and is normally used as a reference to something that was mentioned earlier (in a previous sentence).
"tersebut" literally means "aforementioned".
"itu"= "that".
And I think they can also be both translated by "the orange", as tersebut, as something we talked before:
I bought one orange. Go in my kitchen, and eat the orange. (tersebut)

Tersebut means something that you said/told it before. So jeruk tersebut means a orange that you said before.
Nope, Itu jeruk is That is an Orange Jeruk itu is That orange/The orange
