The question asks which provision was not included in the `Communal Award`. The `Communal Award` was a resolution announced by British Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald in 1932, which aimed to grant separate electorates to various religious and social groups in India.

Option 1 states that members of the depressed classes were assigned reserved seats and separate electorates. This means that the `Communal Award` did provide for reserved seats and separate electorates for the depressed classes.

Option 2 states that separate electorates were provided for the Muslims. This is also true because the `Communal Award` did include separate electorates for Muslims.

Option 3 states that separate electorates were provided for Europeans and Sikhs. This provision is correct as well because the `Communal Award` did include separate electorates for Europeans and Sikhs.

Option 4 states that the separate electorates were to lapse at the end of 10 years. This option correctly mentions that this provision was not part of the `Communal Award`. The `Communal Award` did not have a specific time limit for the separate electorates to end.

In conclusion, option 4 is the correct answer as it correctly identifies the provision
