Only a t-channel Z boson connects the muon-neutrino line to the electron line. Its endpoints are the weak neutral current vertices Zνμ​νˉμ​ and Ze−e+. A W boson couples νμ​ to a muon, so it cannot produce an additional elastic charged-current diagram with external electrons. There is no photon-neutrino vertex, and a strictly massless Standard Model neutrino has no Higgs Yukawa vertex. There is one diagram.
Figure 1.
All five tree-level weak diagrams for muon-neutrino, electron-neutrino, and electron-antineutrino scattering on electrons
