Answer 1

The true statement is:

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

This is correct because the Calvin cycle takes place in the stroma of the chloroplasts and does not require light directly, although it relies on the ATP and NADPH produced during the light-dependent reactions.
