The higher proportion of males in inter-state migration in India is due to which reason?

Economic

The correct answer is Option (2) → Economic

Females predominate the streams of short distance rural to rural migration in both types of migration i.e. Intra-state Migration by Place of Last Residence and Inter-state Migration by Place of Last Residence. Contrary to this, men predominate the rural to urban stream of inter-state migration due to economic reasons.
