Android- studio error - Cause: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

Question

I got this error on Android Studio while attempting to sync gradle. Cause: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

What I have attempted so far to resolve this:

1. Deleting/renaming .gradle.
2. Invalidate caches and restart.

build.gradle

How do I fix this issue?

buildscript {
    ext.compose_version = "1.0.0-rc02"
    ext.kotlin_version = "1.5.10"
    ext.room_version = "2.3.0"
    ext.dagger_hilt_version = "2.37"
    ext.coroutines_version = "1.5.0"
    ext.navigation_components_version = "2.3.5"
    ext.glide_version = "4.11.0"
    ext.java_version = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8

    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.2"
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
        classpath "androidx.navigation:navigation-safe-args-gradle-plugin:$navigation_components_version"
        classpath "com.google.dagger:hilt-android-gradle-plugin:$dagger_hilt_version"
    }

}

        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
