{'blood clotting': [2, 0, 0, 0], 'hematuria': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'anaemia': [3, 0, 1, 0], 'haemophilia': [2, 1, 1, 0], 'heaemorrhage': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'condition': [5, 0, 0, 1]}

The condition of delayed blood clotting is known as haemophilia. Haemophilia is a genetic disorder that affects the blood`s ability to clot properly. It is characterized by a deficiency or absence of certain blood clotting factors, which are proteins that help control bleeding. This means that individuals with haemophilia may experience prolonged bleeding, even from minor injuries.

Option 1, haemorrhage, refers to excessive bleeding, but it is not necessarily a condition of delayed clotting. Option 2, hematuria, refers to the presence of blood in the urine and is unrelated to blood clotting. Option 4, anaemia, refers to a decrease in the number of red blood cells or the amount of hemoglobin in the blood, but it does not directly affect the clotting process.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3, haemophilia.
