Detailed Solution

Sex-selective abortion means abortion which is specifically done on the basis of gender, commonly the abortion of a girl child. This led to a decline in the sex ratio in India and also caused gender imbalance in the country at times.
The main reason why people do so is that they want male children. The assertion and reason are both correct statements, and the reason is an apt explanation of the first statement.
