Case II recoveries shall not be conducted concurrently with Case III departures.

The key idea is safe sequencing of operations to prevent conflicts on the runway and in the airspace around it. Case II recoveries and Case III departures involve procedures that put aircraft on closely related paths and time frames near the runway. When these two activities happen at the same time, there’s a higher risk of conflicting tracks, wake effects, or miscommunications, which can lead to runway incursions or unsafe spacing. To maintain safe separation and clear traffic flow, they are not allowed to be conducted concurrently. That’s why the statement is true. The other options don’t change the safety reasoning: weather conditions or daylight don’t remove the potential for conflicts, so they aren’t the deciding factors here.
