Answer:

"A) Performing blues and R&B classics"

Step-by-step explanation:

Jimi Hendrix had previously worked as a sideman for other musicians, frequently playing blues and R&B classics, before his rise to popularity in the UK and his return to America. But when he came back to the United States for the Monterey Pop Festival, he did it as the frontman of the Jimi Hendrix Experience, a rock group that performed a combination of original music and blues/R&B covers in a fresh, contemporary manner. His performances at the Monterey Pop Festival highlighted his distinctive guitar playing, innovative composition, and a style that differed from the conventional blues and R&B he had played as a sideman, even if his work continued to be influenced by blues and R&B.

B) Writing his own songs

It's true that Jimi Hendrix was creating his own songs when he came back to perform at the Monterey Pop Festival; these songs were crucial to his music and helped him become famous.

C) Fronting a band named after him

Hendrix made a comeback as the band's frontman. This is true because he was the frontman and the band's name featured his name.

D) Playing with complete originality

Jimi Hendrix distinguished himself from other musicians of his era with his inventive and unique guitar playing and performing style.

E) Fronting a rock band

Hendrix was the lead singer of The Jimi Hendrix Experience, a musical group. This assertion is true, but it does not explain what he did not seem as.
