To subtract the numbers \(4.66 \times 10^{-5}\) and \(7.34 \times 10^{-7}\), we first need to express them in the same power of ten.

Let's convert \(7.34 \times 10^{-7}\) to a power of \(10^{-5}\):

\[ 7.34 \times 10^{-7} = 0.0734 \times 10^{-5} \]

Now we can write the subtraction:

\[ 4.66 \times 10^{-5} - 0.0734 \times 10^{-5} \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ (4.66 - 0.0734) \times 10^{-5} = 4.5866 \times 10^{-5} \]

Therefore, the answer is:

\[ \boxed{C. , 4.5866 \times 10^{-5}} \]
