You may cancel an IFR flight plan

A

at any time as long as you advise ATC.

B

only in an emergency.

C

if in VMC outside class A airspace.✓ Correct Answer

Explanation

AIM 5-1-15 states an IFR flight plan may be canceled at any time the flight is operating in VFR conditions outside Class A airspace. Simply advising ATC is not enough if you are in IMC or in Class A airspace, where all operations must be IFR (14 CFR 91.135), and cancellation is not limited to emergencies.
