A large, deeply furrowed tongue is commonly found in a patient with:

Down Syndrome
Cerebral Palsy
Marfan Syndrome
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

The correct answer is: Down Syndrome

A large, deeply furrowed tongue is commonly found in patients with Down Syndrome. This is due to the genetic disorder causing developmental delays, which can affect muscle tone including the tongue. The other options, B, C, and D, are incorrect because they do not typically cause a large, deeply furrowed tongue. Cerebral Palsy affects muscle control, but not in the same way as Down Syndrome. Marfan Syndrome and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome are both connective tissue disorders and do not have an impact on muscle tone in the tongue.
