Solution
The correct option is A If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion. Deuteromycetes are commonly known as imperfect fungi because only the asexual or vegetative phase of these fungi are known and they lack sexual reproduction state.
Thus, both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
