Scientific notation is typically written in the form of a decimal number between 1 and 10 multiplied by 10 raised to some power. In this case, we see that the exponent is negative, indicating a number less than 1. To convert from scientific notation to decimal notation, we simply move the decimal point to the left or right, depending on the sign of the exponent. In this case, we have an exponent of -2, so we move the decimal point two places to the left. This gives us 0.0029. Therefore, the answer is C.
