First, we identify the role of the note within a major key by locating its position in the scale relative to the tonic. In a major key, the diatonic scale degrees are: 1 (tonic), 2 (supertonic), 3 (mediant), 4 (subdominant), 5 (dominant), 6 (submediant), 7 (leading-tone). The given note corresponds to the sixth degree of the scale, which places it in the submediant position.

Option-by-option analysis:
- Tonic: This would be the first scale degree, built on the key's tonic note (I). The note shown is not the tonic, so this is unlikely.
- Supertonic: The second scale degree (II). The pitch in the example does not function as a typical II in a major-key context.
- Mediant: The third scale degree (III). This would imply a mediant function, which would require the note to be the third degree, not the sixth.
- Subdominant: The fourth scale degree (IV). The note here does not align with IV in a straightforward major-key function.
- Dominant: The fifth scale degree (V). A dominant function would center on the fifth degree, not the sixth.
- Submediant: The sixth scale degree (VI). This is the position that matches the given note’s placement in the major-scale framework, yielding the submediant function.
- Leading-tone: The seventh scale degree (VII°). This would imply a diminished leading-tone function, which is not consistent with the note’s role as shown.

In summary, since the note aligns with the sixth degree of the major scale, its harmonic function is submediant. The other options describe functions corresponding to other scale degrees, which do not match the note’s placement in the major-key context.
