Google Sheet match category with multiple keywords to strings

How do I match a category list(column D) with 3 columns of keywords (columns A B C) to a list of strings(column H) and have the result of column I?

I was thinking vlookup and tried something like this, but looks like it doesn't work: 

=vlookup("*"&A2:A&"*"&B2:B&"*"&C2:C&"*",H2:H,1)

I was also considering QUERY, but I don't think that can match by row either.

Any help is appreciated!
