What component carries torque from the gearbox to the differential, which then sends this torque to the wheels to propel the vehicle?

The primary function of the drive shaft is to transmit torque between components that are separated by a distance, since various vehicle components must be located in different places. Since the engine and gearbox are on different sides of a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive vehicle, a lengthy drive shaft must connect the rear axle to the transmission.
