Selenium Unable to Locate Element, but it surely exists

I tried all solutions on Stackoverflow, however still got the same problem.

I am trying to select a specific option from a dropbox. It looks like this: click to see the dropbox.

The HTML that belongs to this dropbox is as follows:

<td ct="GLC" lsdata="{1:'STANDARD'}" id="WD18" class="lsContainerCell lsGLCTopVAlign lsContainerCellVAlign--top  urLayoutDefault--grid" valign="TOP" align="left" style="white-space:normal;"><span id="WD19-r" class="lsField lsField--standalone lsField--explicitwidth lsField--hasellipsis lsField--hashelp lsField--list lsField--focus lsField--interactiontarget" aria-live="assertive" style=""><input id="WD19" ct="CB" lsdata="{2:'WD1A',3:'10',4:'2021\x2f2022',27:'WD17'}" lsevents="{Select:[{ResponseData:'delta',EnqueueCardinality:'single'},{}]}" type="text" autocomplete="off" tabindex="0" ti="0" class="lsField__input" readonly="" value="2021/2022" role="combobox" aria-haspopup="listbox" aria-readonly="false" aria-controls="WD1A" aria-expanded="false" aria-autocomplete="list" style="width:150px;" title=""><span id="WD19-btn" class="lsField__help" tabindex="-1" ti="-1" aria-hidden="true" role="button"></span></span></td>

Nothing I have tried did work because Selenium can not locate element. I've tried it with By.ID and By.XPATH. Last thing I have tried is this:

driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "/html/body/table/tbody/tr/td/div/div[1]/span/span[1]/table/tbody/tr[2]/td/table/tbody/tr[1]/td[2]")

But I still got the same error for the thousandth time:

Message: no such element: Unable to locate element

Thanks in advance.

Try this Xpath, avoid absolute path (click element, get xpath -_-)

driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//td[@ct='GLC']")
