To convert \( 9.6 \times 10^{-4} \) to standard form, you can move the decimal point four places to the left (since the exponent is -4).

Starting with 9.6:
1. Move the decimal point one place to the left: 0.96
2. Move it a second time: 0.096
3. Move it a third time: 0.0096
4. Move it a fourth time: 0.00096

So, \( 9.6 \times 10^{-4} \) in standard form is \( 0.00096 \).

Therefore, the correct answer is:
**0.00096**
