I don't think that it necessarily contradicts b and c, I agree that
removing it isn't harmful since we added "synchronized" to b and c.

Actually you caption more than speech. Subtitles are just speech, but
captions also include non-spoken information. Generally it is true that
captions are mostly of speech, but not entirely.

I agree - how about:
2) materials containing prerecorded video with concurrent audio must
provide synchronized video descriptions, or a separate text description
of the video, to convey any informational content of the video that is
not conveyed through other means.
3) materials containing live video must provide synchronized video
descriptions in real time to convey any informational content of the
video that is not conveyed through other means.
