Explanation

The URL Filtering license (PAN-DB URL Filtering) grants the firewall access to Palo Alto Networks' cloud-hosted PAN-DB URL database, which classifies billions of URLs into categories for policy enforcement. Without this license, the firewall cannot query PAN-DB. Custom URL categories (C) are locally defined and do not require a license. URL-based external dynamic lists (D) also do not require the URL Filtering license. DNS Security (B) requires a separate DNS Security subscription.
