You are obligated to do the bare minimum of compliance, but you aren't obligated to answer any questions posed by any officer.
You can answer a question with a question (Socratic dialogue).
You can even say, "I answer your question with silence."

There are two types of arrest: civil and apprehensive (criminal).
That's why it is important to ask the question, "Am I free to go?" If the answer is no, civil arrest has begun and it is squarely a 4th Amendment issue.
