Subject: check, verb: check, yup, it's a sentence. @J.R. +1 my teacher taught me to never define something using itself :)– PeterCommented Jan 2, 2016 at 16:27

Yes, your example sentence is a complete sentence:
It is.
A complete sentence must contain at least one main clause that contains an independent subject and a finite verb and has a complete meaning.
Good read about the complete sentence here.

Such a sentence can occur as a reaction to a question such as "Is it true?" Answer:Yes, it is.
