The correct statement about the Roman emperor Nero is:

He accused Christians of setting fire to the city Rome.

Nero infamously blamed Christians for the great fire of Rome in 64 AD, which allowed him to pursue persecution against them. The other statements are incorrect regarding Nero's actions and historical context.
