The sensory receptors affected by the condition CIPA (Congenital Insensitivity to Pain with Anhidrosis) are thermoreceptors and mechanoreceptors.

Thermoreceptors are responsible for detecting temperature, and mechanoreceptors are involved in sensing physical sensations such as pain.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

thermoreceptors and mechanoreceptors
