A or VI or 6
E
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.
A major triad is constructed using the first (root), third, and fifth degrees of the major scale. For example, in the C major scale, the notes C (root), E (third), and G (fifth) form the C major triad. This combination creates a harmonious and stable sound characteristic of major chords.
The submediant of E major is C♯ minor. In the context of a major scale, the submediant is the sixth degree, and in the E major scale (E, F♯, G♯, A, B, C♯, D♯), the sixth note is C♯. Thus, C♯ minor serves as the submediant chord in the key of E major.
B major's submediant note is g#
The submediant, the sixth degree of the G major scale, is E.E natural

The submediant - which is the note a relative minor scale begins on
The minor scale that has B flat as its submediant is the D minor scale. In the D minor scale, the notes are D, E, F, G, A, B flat, and C, making B flat the sixth note, or submediant, of the scale.
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).
