When subtracting decimal numbers, it's important to align the decimal points. In this case, we can write 48 as 48.000 to align the decimal points with 24.009. Subtracting 9 from 0 is not possible, so we need to regroup from the tens place, resulting in 18.009. Finally, subtracting the ones place gives us the answer of 23.991. Therefore, the correct answer is choice C.
