What is the value of $\frac{2^{2014}+2^{2012}}{2^{2014}-2^{2012}} ?$

$\textbf{(A)}\ -1 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 1 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ \frac{5}{3} \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 2013 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 2^{4024}$

Factoring out, we get: $\frac{2^{2012}(2^2 + 1)}{2^{2012}(2^2-1)} ?$

Cancelling out the $2^{2012}$ from the numerator and denominator, we see that it simplifies to $\frac{5}{3}$ , $\textbf{(C)}$ .
