Given below are two statements: one is labeled Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R): 
Assertion (A): Alternaria, Colletotrichum and Trichoderma are kept in the fungal class- deuteromycetes.
Reason (R): Asexual and vegetative phases in the life cycle of these fungi are not known.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.

Deuteromycetes are commonly known as imperfect fungi because only the asexual or vegetative phases of these fungi are known. What can be the possible reason(s) of unawareness of sexual phases in these fungi?
I: Sexual phases are yet to be discovered.
II: The asexual and vegetative stage have been given one name
(and placed under deuteromycetes) and the sexual stage another (and placed under another class).

1. Only I
2. Only II
3. Both I and II
4. Neither I nor II
