Recovery must commence in under 2 hours after removing the donor from the morgue cooler due to the critical nature of tissue viability and sterility. Tissues such as skin, organs, and other components must be recovered promptly to ensure their proper utilization for transplantation or research. If the recovery exceeds this timeframe, the risk of degradation and potential contamination increases significantly, which could compromise the quality of the tissues and their suitability for use. This is consistent with established guidelines and best practices in tissue recovery to maximize the chances of successful transplantation outcomes.

The other options suggest different recovery timelines or limitations that do not align with the urgent nature of tissue procurement. Deferring the case or restricting recovery to only certain types of tissues does not reflect the standard protocol which prioritizes swift recovery to ensure tissue integrity. Similarly, recovery any time within the same day may lead to unacceptable risk factors associated with delayed procurement of tissues.
