Answer 1

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

    
        
    

    
        
            1
            2
            3
            4
        

        
    

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.
