A locally installed application is fully stored on the device's storage and can run without any network connectivity. Therefore, the game installed on a laptop that can be played offline is the correct example. The other options rely on web access, cloud storage, or continuous synchronization, and thus require network connectivity, so they do not represent purely local installations.
