Which statement best distinguishes the light-dependent (L-D) reactions from the light-independent (L-IND) reactions?

The light-dependent reactions take place in the thylakoid membranes, where chlorophyll captures light energy. The light-independent reactions, also called the Calvin cycle, take place in the chloroplast’s stroma. Therefore, the statement that the L-D reactions occur in the thylakoid membrane and the L-IND reactions occur in the stroma is correct.
