"No". That seems pretty obvious...
But neither Yes or No are verbs, and a button should ALWAYS be a verb,
so people who don't actually read the dialog can't claim they didn't
know what they were clicking.
A better design would be:
"Are you sure you want your subscription removed?" "Cancel" "Remove"
or as suggested earlier
"Are you sure you want to unsubscribe" "Cancel" "Unsubscribe"
