I cannot use DirectX 11 in Video Game despite being supported by Graphics Card

My PC has an intel hd graphics 2000for an integrated graphics processor. I checked the directX version supported by the card and it happens to be directX 11 according to the screeenshot attached below. But when i open this video game called Far Cry 3 and then head over to Video Settings and then DirectX,but i cannot seem to change that to be DirectX11. I also ran dxdiag and got the same information from the system's tab. So why am i unable to switch the DirectX Version?enter image description here

Because the Intel HD Graphics 2000 iGPU does not, in fact, support DirectX 11. According to TechPowerUp, it supports DirectX Feature Level 10_1.

It is much too slow for Far Cry 3 anyway.
