Your inventory seems to be configured literally as:

/Users/suneelkumar/Documents/Automation/Ansible/hosts  #/Users/suneelkumar/Documents/Automation/Ansible/hosts.yaml

Note that the # and everything after is still included as part of the path, where I assume you meant it to be a comment.

Move the comment to its own line, and I would assume that it should start working for you.

Have you created the inventory file and also give the location of the inventory file in the ansible configuration file and also im ansible in think there are only 4 v's verbosity and we cant use this -vvvv with this inventory we can use this while we run a playbook.
