Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other labelled as Reason (R). 
• [Assertion (A):] Deuteromycetes are known as 'Fungi Imperfecti'. 
• [Reason (R):] In 'Deuteromycetes' only the asexual phase is known.
In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below. 
 

• A. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
• B. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).
• C. (A) is true but (R) is false.
• D. (A) is false but (R) is true.

Hint:

To remember:
- Anamorph = Asexual/imperfect stage (Deuteromycetes).
- Teleomorph = Sexual/perfect stage.
The class Deuteromycetes is a artificial taxonomic group used to catalog fungi until their sexual stages are discovered.
