Which of the following is not a reason why India has a larger male population than female population?

The question asks which statement is not a reason for India’s larger male population. Neglect of daughters, sex-selective abortion or infanticide, and traditions favoring sons can all contribute to fewer females. Saying daughters are more economically valuable to a family than sons does not explain a male population imbalance; the best answer is “Daughters are more economically valuable to a family than sons.”
