I have tried VMware, but there is a error stating Transport (VMDB) error -14: Pipe connection has been broken...
If you have used any of the released VMWare product versions, none of them will work. The only one that will work is the VMWare Fusion Tech Preview . I can verify that it works as I have installed Fedora ARM64 and Ubuntu ARM64 with the the following desktop environments: KDE (Plasma), GNOME, LXQt, Xfce.. All of which run pretty well on my M1 MacBook Air on Monterey 12.2.1.
can you please provide links for parallel desktop(free).
Parallels Desktop for Mac is a commercial product and is not free.
if possible) and iso image link of centos for Mac.

Parallels Desktop Mac works fine for virtual machines on an M1 Mac. The only caveat is that the version of Linux MUST be an ARM64 build.
There is also an an app available in the MacApp Store called UTM. It is basically a GUI wrapper around the QEMU virtualizer/emulator. On the vendor website, he has links with ready to go images of a couple different Linux distributions.
Also, while still a beta product, you can sign up for the VMWare Fusion Tech Preview at the VMWare site. I have successfully installed several different Linux distros using it.
Again, in all the above cases, the Linux distro must be an ARM64 build and NOT an Intel build.

I have tried VMware, but there is a error stating Transport (VMDB) error -14: Pipe connection has been broken, i tried to search it, and I guess its because of Monterey OS. Please help if I'm missing something.

(A)Ask the VMWare site/developers/users about their licensing. But just the name "tech preview" should provide a pretty good hint as to whether it is a production/permanent release.

(A) You likely downloaded the x86 version rather than the ARM version. Check on the download site.
Thanks

I downloaded the arm version, still its not working
If you are sure you downloaded the correct version then these types of errors are what you can expect in a "preview/beta" version. This is why they are labeled as such. If there were no errors they would be fully released and supported.
can you please provide exact link for centos, there are so many mirror links on this link https://www.centos.org.
and VMware Fusion tech preview link.
Thank you Again
I downloaded the arm version, still its not working
