Correct: have a subject and verb.
Explanation: Both independent and dependent clauses contain a subject and a verb. An independent clause also expresses a complete thought (e.g., "She ran every morning."), while a dependent clause does not express a complete thought on its own (e.g., "because she wanted to stay fit"). The choice "do not have a subject but do have a verb" is incorrect—dependent clauses normally include a subject as well.
