How to unzip just a subfolder from the zip without getting the full path to that subfolder

Is there a way to extract a specific subfolder (without the full path structure) from a zip?
My Zip (A.zip):
A
---B
----C/files
I've tried this until now:
(unzip <target-zip-file> '<folder-to-extract/*>' -d <destination-path>)
unzip A.zip 'A/B/*' -d ~/
without any success. I get the same output as just doing the unzip A.zip -d ~/
I want to have only B/C/files not A/B/C/files as folders.
Extra: I know it exists an -j option, but this just removes the subfolder structure.
Or that I can move them afterwards, but that's not my goal here.

so the answer is that it cannot be done directly? (only with the extra function)

Correct, at least with unzip
