Yes. But only if that option is enabled already by some other means.
--no-OPTION_NAME would be the way to again disable the thing --OPTION_NAME

I'm convinced that most curl users of today use --OPTION_NAME options to
enable things and very few use them (again) to disable previously enabled
options.
