To subtract these two numbers in scientific notation, we need to ensure that the exponents are the same. In this case, we can rewrite the numbers as:

4.66 x 10^-5 - 7.34 x 10^-7 = 4.66 x 10^-5 - 0.734 x 10^-6

Now, we can subtract the numbers:

4.66 x 10^-5 - 0.734 x 10^-6 = 4.66 x 10^-5 - 0.00734 x 10^-5 = 4.65266 x 10^-5

So, the answer is 4.65266 x 10^-5, which is not one of the given choices.
