In Class B airspace, ATC (Air Traffic Control) clearance is mandatory for all aircraft entering and operating within this airspace. Class B airspace is typically found around major airports and is designed to manage high-density traffic in the vicinity of busy airports. Pilots must obtain explicit clearance from ATC before entering Class B airspace to ensure safe separation between aircraft and to coordinate flight operations. This requirement helps to reduce the risk of midair collisions and is essential for maintaining organized and efficient air traffic flow.

The other options do not align with the regulations governing Class B airspace operations. A pilot in command does not necessarily need an instrument rating, while solo student pilots are often not permitted to operate in Class B airspace without additional endorsements and must adhere to specific training requirements. Lastly, the claim that no specific requirements are needed contradicts the established regulations that necessitate ATC clearance for all operations in this controlled airspace.
