If this question is asking about the quality of the chord built on the 6th scale degree in a major scale, then the answer is minor.
C major transposed down a minor third becomes A minor. In music theory, a minor third consists of three half steps down from the original note, so starting from C, going down three half steps leads to A. Since A minor is the relative minor of C major, they share the same key signature but have different tonal centers.
A tonic triad consists of three notes that form the basic chord of a key, typically built on the first scale degree. In a major key, it includes the root, major third, and perfect fifth, while in a minor key, it includes the root, minor third, and perfect fifth. For example, in C major, the tonic triad is C-E-G, and in A minor, it is A-C-E. This triad serves as the foundation for harmony and chord progressions in music.
In a major key, the triad built on the 7th scale degree is diminished. Using C major as an example, the triad on the 7th is B D F. B to D is a minor 3rd, as is D to F, so B to F is a diminished 5th.
