Thanks in advance

You will get better advice if you tell us how you want to use the data. Note that Landsat 9 data have only recently been available so current software and tutorials may need (hopefully minor) updates. If you are just starting you might want to work with Landsat 8. Once that is working you can see whether Landsat 9 data will also work (and report any issues to the developers).

Thanks alot for your quidance. Actually I intend to use this data for land use/types classification uisng ArcGIS soft ware!

You may get better answers directly from ArcGIS.

ArcGIS might not be the best software in terms of metadata management of spaceborne missions. You can still download all spectral bands, convert them into a stack and conduct a supervised classification. The browse images are not sufficient for this task, so you need the L1TP data (the entire product bundle).
Yet, this forum is about the ESA SNAP software, so if you want to continue with ArcGIS, I agree with @gnwiii that this might not be the right place to ask.

Technically, you can perfectly load and process the Landsat 9 Collection 2 Level-1 Product Bundle in SNAP by extracting the .tar file and select File > Open > MTL.txt
