Regarding an illuminated Stop Bar, which statement is correct?

Explanation:
An illuminated Stop Bar is a visual hold signal. When the red lights are on, you must stop and not cross the hold line. The only time you may proceed is after ATC has deactivated the stop bar or has given you explicit clearance to cross once it’s deactivated. That’s why not crossing until deactivated is the correct rule. Crossing immediately would violate the hold, and the lights stopping flashing isn’t the safety cue you rely on for crossing—deactivation and clearance are.
