Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The given symptoms of fever, diarrhea, and vomiting suggest that Matthew is suffering from influenza with gastrointestinal manifestations.

Option A (J11.1) is for influenza virus type A only, while option B (J10.2) is for influenza virus with other complications. Option D (J09.X3) is a code for the flu vaccine.
