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

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

To determine the correct answer, it is important to understand the different steps of photosynthesis and where they occur. The Calvin cycle is the second step of photosynthesis, which takes place in the stroma of chloroplasts. It is also known as the light-independent reaction because it does not directly require light. Instead, it utilizes the products of the light-dependent reactions, which occur in the thylakoid membrane, to convert carbon dioxide into glucose. Therefore, option 3 is the correct statement.
