Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The reduction step in the Calvin cycle involves the utilisation of 3 molecules of ATP for phosphorylation and 2 molecules of NADPH for reduction per 
molecule fixed, and consists of a series of reactions that lead to the formation of glucose.
Statement II: Carboxylation is the fixation of 
into a stable organic intermediate and is the most crucial step of the Calvin cycle, where 
is utilised for the carboxylation of RuBP.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
