Final answer:
Hemophilia is a blood clotting disorder caused by an inadequate production of clotting factors, leading to an increased risk of bleeding even from minor injuries. It is the correct answer among the given options for a blood clotting disorder.
Step-by-step explanation:
Blood Clotting Disorders
The genetic disorder characterized by an inadequate production of clotting factors is hemophilia. Hemophilia causes a problem with the body's ability to control blood clotting, which is a critical process to prevent excessive bleeding. Since hemophilia results in an inability to produce sufficient amounts of factor VIII (in the case of hemophilia A) or factor IX (in the case of hemophilia B), individuals with this condition are at high risk for bleeding even from minor wounds or leak blood into their joint spaces after exercise. Hemophilia C involves a deficiency in factor XI, although it is a rarer condition. Therefore, among the given options (A) Polycythemia, (B) Leukopenia, (C) Hemophilia, and (D) Leukocytosis, the correct answer is (C) Hemophilia.
