A Correct answer
Explanation

The phrase 'handling of the economy' is a standard collocation meaning how the government manages or controls economic matters. 'Handling' implies the process of dealing with or managing something - in this case, the complex economic systems of a country. The other options (hearsay, hang-up, height, heaps) do not fit this context.
