The correct response for the proper disposal of potentially pathogenic bacteria is:

They should be placed into a biohazard bag to be incinerated.

This method ensures that the bacteria are safely disposed of in a manner that prevents any potential risk to human health or the environment. Other options, such as washing down the drain or placing them in regular trash, are not safe or appropriate for handling biohazardous materials.
