Flu - Virus (caused by the influenza virus)
Strep throat - Bacteria (caused by Streptococcus bacteria)
Chicken pox - Virus (caused by the varicella-zoster virus)
Common cold - Virus (caused by various types of viruses)
Pink eye - Virus or bacteria (can be caused by both viral and bacterial infections)
Athlete's foot - Fungus (caused by the fungus Trichophyton)
So, the correct matches are:
Flu - Virus
Strep throat - Bacteria
Chicken pox - Virus
Common cold - Virus
Pink eye - Virus or Bacteria
Athlete's foot - Fungus
