How to unzip into specific directory without recreate all the path with bash script

In my ios application, I need to unzip an archive that is placed into /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/xxx into, for example, /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/tmp.

My issue is that when I launch this:

unzip /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/xxx/archive.zip -d /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/tmp/

in the tmp folder, there is all the archive path: /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/tmp/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/xxx/archive/...

How could I do for only have /var/mobile/Library/Preferences/tmp/archive/... and not all the archive path into the target directory ?

Thanks in advance

Try the -j option to unzip which flattens the directory structure and writes all the files into the current directory.
