Sterile means lacking of productivity in crops. Its not related to humans so its not childless. So it is barren.

Barren may related to childless but the exact meaning is can't able to produce it may be a crops or anything hence BARREN is the correct answer.

Arid and Dry means almost the same i.e. dry and childless means unable to produce offspring. Point is that at the base line there lies a fact that sterile "means unable to produce anything" i.e.its like barren, barren in terms of not producing a child, barren in terms of not producing seed or fruit, barren land, barren in terms of lacking in creativity.
