Why FeO shows non-stoichiometric defect with the formula Fe_(0.95)O ?

The questions given below consist of an assertion and the reason. Use the following key to choose the appropriate answer. (a) Both the Assertion and the Reason are correct and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion. (b) The Assertion and the Reason are correct but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.(c) Assertion is is CORRECT but reason is INCORRECT. (d) If assertion is INCORRECT but reason is CORRECT. (e)If both assertion and reason are INCORRECT. Assertion: FeO is non-stoichiometric with Fe_(0.95)O . Reason: Some Fe^(2+) ions are replaced by Fe^(3+) as 3Fe^(2-)=2Fe^(3+) to maintain electircal neutrally.

Analysis shows that FeO has a non-stoichiometric composition with formula Fe_(0.95)O . Give reason.
