Correct Answer: Deuteromycetes


Solution : The correct answer is Deuteromycetes .

The Deuteromycetes, commonly called moulds, are second-class fungi having no known sexual state in their lifecycle and thus reproduce only by producing spores via mitosis. They are also known as imperfect fungi. They show only the asexual phase and do not show sexual reproduction.
