Final Answer : C, Explanation :   To convert a number from scientific notation to decimal notation, we move the decimal point to the left or right depending on the sign of the exponent. For   5.92 × 1 0 − 3 5.92 	imes 10^{-3} 5.92 × 1 0 − 3  , the exponent is negative, so we move the decimal point to the left by three places to get   0.00592 \boxed{0.00592} 0.00592 ​  .
