I suggest you reformat your three lists to make a two column table like this
Fruit | Month
Apple | March
Fig | March

You will then find that VLookup becomes a lot easier and you can use a pivot table if you want to display the data like the way you presented it in your sample.

I would also recommend you learn about Index and Match from resources you can find online like this one
I will get the anser only for a specific month so that doesnt make any difference if "apple" is in 3 months or not, because the formula must look for the specific month i put... hope this might get you the best im asking.
