If requested by ATC to execute a missed approach procedure a pilot must comply.

The statement concerns whether a pilot must follow ATC instructions to execute a missed approach. Instead of presenting multiple options, I will analyze the assertion directly and explain why it is correct.
Consider the role of ATC guidance in instrument flight rules operations: when ATC requests or instructs a missed approach, the pilot is expected to comply because missed approach procedures are predefined safety maneuvers designed to prevent controlled flight into terrain or obstacles. Compliance with ATC instructions to initiate a missed approach is a fundamental aspect of ensuring separation from terrain and other airspace users, and it maintains orderly flow in the approach environment.
However, there are practical caveats to keep in mind. If an instrument approach has reached a state where the aircraft is in a position or configuration that makes immediate execution of the missed approach unsafe, a pilot would still acknowledge the instruction but may need to coordinate with ATC or execute the procedure in a manner consistent with safety. In typical, standard scenarios, though, ATC-directed missed approaches are mandatory instructions and must be complied with.
Another dimension to consider is the difference between a pilot initiating a missed approach themselves versus simply following a request from ATC. The crucial point remains that ATC directing a missed approach constitutes an instruction to execute the published procedure, and pilots are expected to comply, provided that doing so can be accomplished safely and within the published procedure.
In sum, the core idea is that ATC-directed missed approaches are not optional; they are standard operating expectations intended to preserve safety and separation during potential go-around situations.
