Unable to select value from select tag. Getting Exception-WebDriverException: unknown error: a.tagName.toUpperCase is not a function

问题

Am using chrome driver and windows 10 OS. By using select class am able to find options from the select tag. but unable to chose the options by index or visibleText or any.

<select class="pull-left" name="status">
        <option value="">Status</option>
        <option class="select-value" value="Valid" >Valid</option>
        <option class="select-value" value="Ivalid">Invali</option>
</select>

Selenium Code-

    @FindBy(xpath="//select[@name='status']")
    WebElement drop;


    Select sel=new Select(drop);
    List<WebElement> ls=sel.getOptions();
    for (WebElement webElement : ls) {
        System.out.println(webElement.getText());
    }
    sel.selectByVisibleText("Status");

Console Output:-

 org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: a.tagName.toUpperCase is not a function
