Check if this version of chromedriver is compatible with your current chrome version. If not, upgrade chrome to compatible version. — Appu Mistri, Aug 01 '19 at 19:55
This issue occurred after upgrading these versions, if there is no solution, then i will go and degrade to older version — vini007, Aug 01 '19 at 20:19

Not really a fix but this is due to the fix made for issue 3084: Find Elements not working properly in ChromeDriver 76 when prototype.js 1.6.1 is used [Pri-2], select tags are not working. Just the presence ofprototype.js` is enough this to be failed. You can try the following to recreate

<html>
    <head>
        <title>test</title>
    </head>

    <body>
        <select id="sample">
            <option value="1">1</option>
            <option value="2">2</option>
            <option value="3">3</option>
            <option value="4">4</option>
        </select>

        <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/prototype/1.6.1/prototype.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    </body>
</html>

Error:

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: script returns unexpected result
  (Session info: chrome=77.0.3865.75)

If you have the control of the application you can upgrade the version of prototype.js.

I also experienced this issue with ChromeDriver 76.0.3809.68 and Chrome 76.0.3809.100. It works with ChromeDriver 76.0.3809.126 and Chrome 76.0.3809.100.

Not just selectByVisibleText even selectByValue was also throwing the same Exception

"org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: script returns unexpected result".

I faced this issue with chrome v76. I upgraded the chrome version to 77 and tested with ChromeDriver 76 and 77 which works fine now.
