Sterile means lack of fertility or one can't reproduce. Barrel means a heath or lacking in fertility.

Sterile means barren, which can't produce anything. It's not necessary that it is a child. It may be cropped as well. So barren word is more appropriate.

Being childless doesn't mean that you can't give birth, it just means that you don't have a child for some reason. So childless cannot be the right answer.
Barren is unproductive and same goes for sterile.

Dry, arid both are synonyms of barren. So I think correct answer is childless.
