During KMFR night visual approaches, which statement about remaining on track is true?

The key idea is that the instrument approach course defines the protected path and obstacle clearance, even when you’re conducting a visual approach. You must stay on the published instrument approach course until you are landing. Only after you have the runway environment in sight and ATC clears you for the visual approach can you transition to visual flight, but you don’t depart from the approach course prior to landing. The other statements imply departing from the course, canceling the approach, or using a special “visual-only clearance” at the FAF, which isn’t the routine or correct procedure.
