Answer:

On the basis of gender preference.

Explanation:

They thought that having a girl is curse or shameful thing so they kill the infant. These type of people wants male baby or prefer male child so that's why they kill the infants.

An invasive species disrupts this ecological balance that took millions of years to develop by eating the grass at a rate that exceeds the rate for the grass to re-seed itself and maintain its own population. The invasive species easily decimates the grass population.
