To test your application locally on your laptop with Cloud Datastore, you should use the Cloud Datastore Emulator. The emulator allows you to simulate Cloud Datastore locally for development and testing purposes.

Here’s what you should do:

D. Install the cloud-datastore-emulator component using the gcloud components install command.

Steps:

Install the Cloud Datastore Emulator component:
```
gcloud components install cloud-datastore-emulator
```
Start the emulator:
```
gcloud beta emulators datastore start
```
Set the environment variables to point your application to the local emulator:
```
$(gcloud beta emulators datastore env-init)
```
Run your application locally, and it will interact with the local Cloud Datastore Emulator instead of the production Cloud Datastore.

Why not the other options?

A. Export Cloud Datastore data using gcloud datastore export: This is used to export data from a production Cloud Datastore, not for local testing.
B. Create a Cloud Datastore index using gcloud datastore indexes create: This is for managing indexes in a production Cloud Datastore, not for local testing.
C. Install the google-cloud-sdk-datastore-emulator component using the apt get install command: The correct package to install is cloud-datastore-emulator, and it should be installed via the gcloud components install command, not apt-get.

The correct answer is D.
