You may turn left on a red light if the following are true:

Left turns on red are allowed only when you’re turning from a one-way street onto a one-way street, you must come to a full stop and yield to all traffic and pedestrians, and there must be no sign prohibiting the turn. The described scenario matches these conditions: you’re turning onto a one-way street, you’re in the left-most lane and turning into the left-most lane of the cross street, and there’s no sign forbidding the turn. Because all these conditions are met, the turn on red is permitted. The other statements aren’t correct because turning on red isn’t permitted simply because cross traffic isn’t present, nor is it limited to yielding only to pedestrians. You must yield to all traffic and pedestrians, and you can’t rely on the cross street being empty or ignore any prohibition signs.
