Hi and welcome to puzzling SE! Just wanted to say that while adding syntax for spoilers, you need to have a blank space after>!. Also, you can use<BR>tags for multiple lines if leaving a blank line doesn't work (It usually doesn't for me while using spoilers). For now, I've edited your answer. Happy puzzling! :)

This is the line of thought I followed:
Statement #3
is impossible because of #1 and #2 contradicting each other (let's consider only the last three statements, for simplicity). So, #3 must be false.
As a consequence,
#1 must be false.
If #4 were true, then #2 must be true (by exclusion), but this would imply that #4 itself is false. Then,
#4 is false.
If #5 were true,
then #2 must be false. So far, this holds.
If #5 were false, then #2, by exclusion, must be true. But this implies that #3 is true too, which is a contradiction, as seen above.
Then #5 is true, and #2 is false.
Accordingly,
#6 is false because it being true would imply that #5 is false.
In conclusion,
there is only one true statement, as said in the title, and is #5.

The correct one is
5
Explanation:
1 is not possible, as only one is true.
2 is not possible, as it makes 4 true.
3 is not possible for similar reasons.
4 is not true as it makes one of 1, 2 or 3 true as well.
6 is self-contradictory.

Firstly, $3Rightarrow1Rightarrow6Rightarrow5$, so $3$ and $1$ and $6$ are false.
Since $3$ and $1$ are not true, $4Leftrightarrow2$, so they're both false.
The only option left is $5$, so this is the answer.

Another nice way to approach this puzzle is by constructing chains of implications. We know there's only one true statement, so if one statement implies another one, then it's false.
Firstly, $3Rightarrow1Rightarrow6Rightarrow5$, so $3$ and $1$ and $6$ are false.
Since $3$ and $1$ are not true, $4Leftrightarrow2$, so they're both false.
The only option left is $5$, so this is the answer.
