Default how to find common cells in several columns

Hi, can anyone help me on this? Let say we have 3 columns of data. I want to
show in another column for data that appears in all 3 columns. E.g.
A B C
1 apple orange education
2 education education card
3 flower apple flower
4 baby phone baby
5 phone baby apple
I want to return "apple", "education" and "baby" in another column since
these 3 terms appear in all 3 columns.

Is there a way that I can do it quickly? Thanks in advance for your help!!
