This error message...

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/google/common/collect/ImmutableMap

...implies that the file com/google/common/collect/ImmutableMap might be corrupted or there is some incompatibility between the version of the binaries you are using.

Further you need to take care of a couple of things as follows:

Instead of storing the chromedriver.exe binary right under C:\ try to put it within a directory as C:\\BrowserDrivers\\chromedriver.exe and change the System.setProperty() line accordingly. So effectively, the line of code will be:
```
System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","C:\\BrowserDrivers\\chromedriver.exe");
```

Also ensure that:

JDK is upgraded to current levels JDK 8u311.
Selenium is upgraded to current released Version 4.1.3.
ChromeDriver is updated to current ChromeDriver v100.0 level.
Chrome Browser is updated to current chrome=100.0 (as per chromedriver=100.0.4896.60 release notes).
