Explanation

To allow general browsing (HTTP/HTTPS) while blocking file transfers to a specific site, you reference the custom URL Category 'NO-FILES' directly as a match condition in a Security policy rule and attach a File Blocking profile to that rule. This allows the session to be permitted (general browsing continues) while the File Blocking profile enforces upload/download restrictions. Using the URL Filtering profile's 'site access' setting (choices A and C) would block all access to the site, not just file transfers - that approach cannot selectively permit browsing while denying file activity.
