Explanation

The phrase 'the height of X' is an idiomatic expression meaning the pinnacle, peak, or ultimate example of something. 'The height of vulgarity' means this dress represents the absolute extreme or worst example of vulgarity. Similar expressions include 'the height of fashion' or 'the height of absurdity'. The other options (handling, hearsay, hang-up, heaps) cannot form this idiomatic structure.
