To find the increase in tuition fees from 2012 to 2016, we need to calculate the percentage increase.

Percentage increase = ((new value - old value)/old value) x 100

From 2012 to 2016, the tuition fee increased from $5000 to $5200.

Percentage increase = ((5200 - 5000)/5000) x 100 = 4%

Therefore, the correct answer is C.
