To convert from scientific notation to decimal notation, simply move the decimal point to the left or right based on the exponent of the power of 10. In this case, the exponent is negative, meaning we need to move the decimal point to the left. We count the number of places we need to move the decimal point by the absolute value of the exponent, which is 6. So we move the decimal point 6 places to the left, giving us 0.000008373. Therefore, the answer is choice C.
