The 4th through sixth (or Subdominant through Submediant) are major, which means 2. The roman numerals are iv and VI.
The supertonic of any scale is the second degree of the scale. Therefore, the supertonic of C major is D.
In a C major drone, the primary notes are C, E, and G, which correspond to the root, third, and fifth of the C major chord. Additionally, the note C can be sustained to create the drone effect, providing a harmonic foundation. Other notes that may be included for variation are the higher octave C and the bass C, enhancing the richness of the sound.

In the perspective of European-descendent theory, the degrees of any key or scale (major, minor, or modal) can be classified as follows: 1 - Tonic 2 - Supertonic 3 - Mediant 4 - Subdominant 5 - Dominant 6 - Submediant 7 - Leading Tone Let us take the case of C major as our key/scale: C - Tonic D - Supertonic E - Mediant F - Subdominant G - Dominant A - Submediant B - Leading Tone Similarily, this works in the minor keys, too. Using A natural harmonic as our key/scale: A - Tonic B - Supertonic C - Mediant D - Subdominant E - Dominant F - Submediant G - Leading Tone
The tonic, the submediant and the dominant (1, 3 and 5).
The chords BVI, BVII, and I in a major key are related as the submediant, subtonic, and tonic chords respectively. They create a sense of resolution and stability in the key, with the submediant and subtonic chords leading to the tonic chord.
The 4th through sixth (or Subdominant through Submediant) are major, which means 2. The roman numerals are iv and VI.
