Explanation:

1. COVID-19 is caused by SARS-CoV-2 (virus), HIV by human immunodeficiency virus, common cold by rhinoviruses/coronaviruses (viruses), while athlete's foot is caused by fungi (not virus/bacteria).
2. Aseptic practices aim to eliminate pathogens; using disinfectants on surfaces reduces pathogen presence, while other options are unsanitary.
3. Common home food preservation methods to prevent food poisoning include refrigeration (slows microbial growth), drying (removes moisture for microbes), and pickling (uses acid to inhibit pathogens).

Answer:

1. Athlete's Foot
2. using disinfectants on objects and surfaces
3. Refrigeration, drying, pickling (examples of valid methods)
