The true statement is:

The Calvin cycle is the light-independent (does not need light) step of photosynthesis and happens in the stroma.

The Calvin cycle occurs in the stroma of the chloroplasts and does not require light directly to proceed, although it relies on the products of the light-dependent reactions (ATP and NADPH) to synthesize glucose.
