Answer: The animal would ignore the horizontal bar.

Explanation:

If the animal is kept in an environment where it is not exposed to any stimulus and then the animal is being exposed to the horizontal bar shaped toy.

Then the organism if not exposed prior will not show any effect on the exposure to the animal with toy.

The animal would simply ignore the toy and walk away with paying heed to it. It is incorporated in the behavior of the organism that if it is exposed to something new at later stages it will be ignored.
