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 does not require direct light and occurs in the stroma of chloroplasts, where it uses the ATP and NADPH produced during the light-dependent reactions that take place in the thylakoid membranes.
