The true statement about debit cards is:

When you use one, the money is taken directly from your bank account.

Debit cards withdraw funds directly from your checking account when you make a purchase. The other statements are not true in the same context: debit cards do not charge interest since they do not allow you to borrow money, and while they can be branded with networks such as Visa, they do not involve running up debts like credit cards do.
