E: Failed to fetch 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.174 80] error when I run apt-get update

Question

When I execute the sudo apt-get update command, I'm encountering with the following error:

E: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/binary-arm64/Packages 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.23 80]

I don't know if it's relevant but the contents of my /etc/apt/source.list file is as follows:

Ultimately I'm trying to install the gtk-doc-tools package with

Are you connected to internet? You can't connect to Ubuntu repositories. Or you are behind some firewall or proxy. — Pilot6, Nov 21 '19 at 22:59
@Pilot6 I tried to install the same package (gst-doc-tools) on a different Linux machine connected to the same internet network and it's installed successfully. — csg, Nov 21 '19 at 23:05
I don't see arm64 in sources.list? Where does it come from? — Pilot6, Nov 21 '19 at 23:07
@Pilot6 I was wondering the same thing. I honestly don't know. I copied the entire file. — csg, Nov 21 '19 at 23:08
Placed in the directory run the command: grep "arm64" . -R, let' see if the offending lines are there or not. — schrodingerscatcuriosity, Nov 21 '19 at 23:19
@guillermochamorro When I run this command in /etc/apt/source.list.d, there isn't anything matching with "arm64". — csg, Nov 21 '19 at 23:40
I can see why you might have cross compiling platform, but your system itself does not support the arm64 architecture. Maybe look at https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/295243/111521 and remove those files for now so your system stops looking at the arm64 sources that doesn't exist. — Terrance, Nov 22 '19 at 17:06
