I will explain why any collection of isomorphism types of subgroups of symmetric groups can be realized as $\mathbb G(A)$ for some algebra $A$.
But first, let me address this phrase from the problem statement:
in which each variable actually appears.
This condition does not restrict.
If an algebra $A$ has a term $t(x,y,z)$ where only $x$ and $y$
`actually appear', then one can expand $A$ by adding
a new fundamental operation $f$ intepreted so that
$f(x,y,z) := t(x,y,z)$ on $A$. This has no effect on
which functions are the interpretations
of $n$-ary terms for $A$,
but it does have an effect on whether variables `actually
appear' in the term: each of $x$, $y$, and $z$
actually appears in $f$, while $f$ has the same
symmetry group as $t$.
Instead of the condition on term operations in which each variable actually appears I shall work with the condition on term operations which depend on all variables.
Now, back to the problem. I claimed above that any collection of isomorphism types of subgroups of symmetric groups can be realized as $\mathbb G(A)$ for some algebra $A$. This is almost true. You must include the isomorphism type of the $1$-element group, since it is the symmetry group of $t(x)=x$. So let $\mathcal K$ be any class of subgroups of finite symmetric groups which includes the $1$-element group. For a given $G\in\mathcal K$, where $G\leq S_n$, define an $n$-ary operation $f_G(x_1,\ldots,x_n)$ on the set $\{a, b\}\cup \mathbb N^+ = \{a, b, 1, 2, 3, \ldots\}$ as follows: $$ f_G(\bar{u}) = \begin{cases} a & \textrm{if $\bar{u} = (\sigma(1),\ldots,\sigma(n))$ for some $\sigma\in G$;}\\ b & \textrm{otherwise.} \end{cases} $$ Let $A$ be the algebra on $\{a,b\}\cup \mathbb N^+$ whose operations are all operations of the form $f_G$, $G\in\mathcal K$.
I claim that the following are true.
- Each $f_G$ depends on all of its variables.
- The symmetry group of $f_G(x_1,\ldots,x_n)$ is $G\;(\leq S_n)$.
- Any term operation of $A$ that depends on all of its
variables is obtained from one of the $f_G$'s by
permuting the variables. Hence, its symmetry
group is conjugate to $G$ in $S_n$.
This is enough to show that $\mathbb G(A)$ consists of exactly the isomorphism types of groups in $\mathcal K$.
