You need to do so, and there is no sign prohibiting the turn.
It is safe to do so, and there is no sign prohibiting the turn.
All of the above.
Explanation

You may turn right at a steady red light after coming to a complete stop, unless a “No Turn on Red” sign is posted. However, the turn is only allowed if it is safe - you must yield to pedestrians and all cross traffic. There is no legal requirement to turn right on red, so if you are uncertain about safety, wait for the green light. Always use your turn signal and proceed with caution.
