Builds for android works fine with il2cpp and mono both.
I have tried following solutions but all in vain
Restarting Unity
Reinstalling Windows il2cpp support for editor
I am using Unity 2019.4.9f1 currently. Please help me out.
Thanks.

As the error message indicates, you need to have Visual Studio installed with the C++ build workload. Please install that and try again.
